Three Three Point Keima Kakari
  Difficulty: Advanced   Keywords: Joseki

[Diagram]
Diag.: 3-3 point: keima kakari

Against the black stone at 3-3, white 1 is considered to be not a correct kakari. Black will play at 2, and to avoid a black move there, white is more or less forced to play at 3. The problem with this move is that she is pushing black along the fourth line. The black territory is considered to be worth more than the white influence. Also note that black is walking ahead of white, and that white is still open on the edge. Rather than white 1, any of the marked points is regarded Joseki.
