Large Avalanche Clamp
   

[Diagram]
Diag.: The Large Avalanche Joseki: The clamp

Black 1 used to be the standard move in the large avalanche joseki, but it is not much played any more. I will not go deeply into this move, but just show a few joseki sequences that have been developped.


[Diagram]
Diag.: A first basic joseki

This might be considered a basic sequence of this variation.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Another possibility

If white does not have a ladder at A, black 1 is possible. The result is again probably equal.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Pushing

Black pushes against white's group to build strength in the center, then hits at the vital point with 7.


[Diagram]
Diag.: One continuation

A possible continuation from the last diagram.
