A1 Joseki
Keywords: Question, Joseki
I recently overheard a discussion on kiseido about the A1 Joseki, which starts by playing the four corner points and then
playing hane (cannot remember for sure). This is a very agressive opening, possibly leading to very high wins (366.5 points) - and of course equally high losses.
Does anybody know details? Was this just a hoax? How does this strategy work in practise?
unkx80: Where does white play? Playing so low on the board, I think this joseki is not good for black. Most probably it is a hoax. Especially black 1, it does not surround any territory at all. It all becomes clear once you realise that A1 could also mean April 1. schmorp?: That would explain the "very high losses" (white plays normally) and "very high wins" (in case white gets totally confused and resigns) ;) This is a copy of the living page "A1 Joseki" at Sensei's Library.
