Since 黑17 deviates from the usual extension at A (see pro game below), white has no mood to defend at B otherwise the position of 黑17 is better than extension at A.

白16 extension forces black to defend at 黑17 and gains sente to press at 白18. The downside of 白16 is black can peek at 黑23 and exchange with 白24.


If black extends at 27 then white can live comfortably in the corner. After 白28, black's exterior has flaws around O3 area. 黑29 direct attacking is not so severe; white can defend lightly with 白30 and 白32.
Correct response is to tenuki and play 白28. Corner white group is ko live no matter how black plays.
