4-5 point 4-3 approach ogeima
Keywords: Joseki

Reference diagram
After the ogeima, white may
- jump to a, which is treated here
- choose the contact play b ("risky" acc. to Ishida, "not joseki" acc. to modern Chinese joseki books), see 4-5 point 4-3 approach ogeima, contact
- tenuki, see 4-5 point 4-3 approach ogeima, tenuki.

Variations
After the jump, black has two options: a and b.
a transfers to the following joseki: 4-5 point 4-3 approach keima, contact at 6-3, which will end in sente for White.
If hane at the outside, then will cut Black at the elephant's eye. White's table shape is good while Black's shape is broken.
Increasing the sacrifice for tempo gain, as with here, is not good in this case. does not get ahead as in the joseki variation, while is hurt. Black indeed still needs to capture the cutting stones (a?) but his shapes are strong so he might jump ahead to c. (Dieter: this diagram needs confirmation)
