I've been playing a lot of handicap 9x9 games and found myself struggling with a relatively simple corner sequence. Responding to the white invasion, I try playing the cut at 4:
In a larger game, where the handicap stone would be at the 4-4 point, I have room to extend the cutting stone. But because the cutting stone is on the second line, extending 4 doesn't work.
Because the cut would be on the second line, should I not be cutting in this scenario? What is a typical way to deal with the approach at 1?

does work, but playing on the outside is easier.
can again be forcibly captured? This is a more difficult problem, but it comes up frequently in every game. Try playing out some sequences to prove to yourself that W can capture
