Yes there is. You can resolve to let it never happen again. Repeat after me: "I will never let my cutting stones be captured. I will never let my cutting stones be captured..."

Why is either side fighting over these white stones? They were only six points before the last move by white, and they still seem small and unvaluable to me.

Magicwand hopes he can cut at k8 later.

I figured they already served the purpose of preventing the cut, and that it would be hard to save the stones. I could be wrong, though.

I guess this is consistent with my last move, at least.

White has to cut now, right? Letting B connect is really bad, and I don't think B has any terrible move to use against the floating white stones. B will get the turn and not suffer terribly, but I don't think he's benefitted from the recent moves.

Cutting is not completely without risk. There is a bit of bad aji that black may be able to exploit:

For kibitz only:
A few moves later on, isn't this point at A very interesting? I believe the aji here is great for black. Anyone read more into it or does anyone think we will see this move anytime soon? I "skimmed" through the reading, and I feel like white has to give up something here for him to come out "even". Even if you don't follow up right away, the aji is nice.

I feel OK with a tenuki. I think that this move is pretty big.

Hmm, I'd be worried about the cut. Now suddenly the stones in the center are floating, eyeless, and well within white's sector line. Which means white gets to cut in sente, and probably chase black around some more in sente while he breaks up black potential. There's also the very real possibility of those center black stones just outright dying. I think that would null out most of black's handicap stone advantage.

We'll see if MW agrees with me based on how he responds. :)
