White has approached at 1 and black responded
with 2. How should white continue?
This depends on the situation on the whole board. If White played 1 she knew, perhaps, what she was going to do.
- Tenuki. I think that this will make the opponent jumpy to the end of the game. Black cannot eliminate the aji with a single move. You have to reduce the effect of her possible influence+thickness before surviving in the corner.
- Surviving with a, b or c. This is a good option if the resulting outward influence is already reduced.
- Crosscut after a, b and hane by the opponent if there is a possibility to build some territory on the sides compensating for the corner.
