C[White protects the cut, and Black still needs to defend the corner.]

C[Black's corner is not that big, and White gains considerable outside thickness, which also helps White's lower 2 stones.  The result is much better for White than the game line.]

    C[White captures the corner, but later Black can play the good move at A, after which Black B, C, and D become forcing moves.  Black's outside thickness is wonderful.  With one stroke of the marked cut, the game becomes easy for Black.];
    B[fn]
    C[Now after a Black capping play here, White would indeed be troubled.]
