Approach the corner with A or extend along the edge with B?
The joseki at the bottom is not finished yet, so Black 1 is important. White can now take the big point 2 or play a pincer against the stone on the right side. After White 2 an extension to A is big for Black.
If Black chooses the extension to B instead of 1, then White will take the initiative and attack with C.
PK :1Nd[ OPS/preface.xhtmlFor more than four thousand years people have been fascinated by the Asian strategy board game Go. It has always been regarded as a beneficial way to foster creative thinking.
This exercise book is aimed at players who can’t let go of this fascination and now want to work towards a better understanding of the game. The degree of difficulty of the tasks is thus beyond a beginner – here begins the training.
Therefore, with the exception of the first chapter, all exercises omit any help in the form of a task text. The name of the book says it all: it’s always Black’s turn to play and to find the best solution. The book contains challenging tasks from all the fundamental areas: opening, middle game, tesuji, life and death, and endgame. It is rounded off by three special sections dedicated to the topics of shape, reading and ko.
Within each section, the tasks vary from easy to tricky. Do not be discouraged if you can not solve one or the other exercise right away or not at all. This is intentional, because the same exercise may be a little easier for some players and slightly more difficult for others. Every Go player evolves his strengths differently. If you really get stuck, skip the exercise and let the problem ‘mature’ in the back of your mind. Treat yourself to a second round later, to repeat and deepen the tasks you have solved, and for a second try of the ones unresolved!
Good luck and enjoy!

Black should cut with 1 on the inside, because the sequence to 7 builds a solid wall that fits very well into its opening.
If Black first cuts at 3, White captures the cutting stone and Black takes the corner with 1 and 2. The opening is not used optimally and the aji of a hane at A is unpleasant for Black.

Black 1 is the biggest point, because it is expanding the moyo at the bottom.
If Black invades at A instead, the sequence until G follows and then White will invade the lower side at H in sente.

Black 1 separates the white groups. After the sequence to 5, Black looks forward to a good fight.
Defending the corner with A is too passive. White encloses Black at B first and threatens to exploit the remaining weakness at C later.
