White can now reinforce in sente. ] ;W[mp]C[Phoenix: Now White gets everything and Black is behind. When your opponent leaves in the middle of a sequence, find a straightforward way to get some compensation.

Since white's marked stone is being pressed down and is under pressure, he can't cut impunitively. Even if he starts with 'A' (joseki), Black can get an even result.] ) ) ( ;B[np]C[Phoenix: Cut to take profit.] ;W[ci]TR[nq][op]LB[mq:A]C[Phoenix: White has already taken a loss. You can go on to deal with the chinese opening regularly, with an eye towards 'A'. If you can get to this point first you'll have a definite advantage in territory.] ) )
