C[Problem 39. Black to play.  

White attacks the two black stones in the upper left at their weak underbelly with 5. How should Black respond ? ]

C[Correct Answer.  

Black should first attach with 1, ... ]

C[If Black next moves out into the center with 3, ... ]

C[... White's stones at the top need reinforcement, so she defends with 4. ]

Black 1 is a splendid move ... ]

C[But, with the black stone of 1 in place, White will not play A in response to Black 3. ]

LB[df:A]
C[Instead, she will approach in the lower left with 4. This is a subtle point, but a strong player never makes a move like A which clearly leads to a bad position. It is better to play elsewhere and wait to see how the situation in the upper left develops. <= ]
