It is very important not to connect!

a is much better than b

(but even if you have to connect at b due to ko threats (Please show me a pro game example where b is the better move, thank you in advance) this is still better for white)

Related shape from AlphaGo vs pro team, it's better to fight and lose ko (and get 4 moves elsewhere) than connect. http://www.alphago-games.com/view/event ... /3/move/88
