stone can connect to the southern ones quite easily.];W[pf];B[nc];W[qi]TR[pk]C[Now is the time for Black to rescue his marked stone.];B[on];W[oo];B[qn]C[And Black connects happily.];W[ck]TR[dd][jl][pf]LB[cl:A]C[Going out now is ESSENTIALfor White: it binds somewhat all his stones together (see the relation between the marked stones and the one just played).Without it,
