Post subject:  Attatchment Tesuji

Hi,

I'm currently studying tesuji with the help of Tesuji by James Davies. Sadly, from time to time I do not even get the explanations ;)

Here black is to play. The solution says black is to play the attatchment tesuji a, threatening the driving tesuji at b.

I guess it would look like this (white tenukis). White would get pushed around.

To avoid that white should play like here. Black comes out.

Sadly, the book does not explain why these are the best moves. And frankly, I do not get it. If white plays 2, the driving trsuji does not work anymore.

I also can't find another move for black to counter the hane. So, to my question (finally). How to punish white 2:

This looks better for B than the driving tesuji... W has more blighted stones, no?
