Situation was unclear, but with white 40 Rui Naiwei play questionable move, this cut don’t give her any profit. Instead of cut maybe white should extend. After few moves black try to stabilize her group very quickly with 45 and 47. Instead of this move attacking two white stone in center can also be consider. Rui Naiwei after black 47 very quickly start counterattack, but giving black chance to get out with 65 was very paintful. White should play at 65 before black.
