BQM31 Modern Double Kakari
DaveSigaty: The original problem on BQM31 refers to Kogo recommending 'a' as the preferred reply to the double kakari of 2 and 4. In the game cited, B actually chose 'b'. B 'b' is certainly the traditional reply but I wondered what is actually used most frequently in this position in modern Go. I used the GoGoD CD and limited my search to games from 2000-2001. The results for the 81 games listed that featured the double kakari were as follows:
I searched with an otherwise empty quadrant out as far as the neighboring star points so these games represented double kakari attacks on the B corner stone rather than replies to a B pincer.
The most popular tsuke nobi variation proceeded through W 4 in 21 games. B replied with 5 in 19 of them (and 'a' in the other 2). W 6 is most frequent continuation, appearing in 14 of the 19 games (W 'b' appeared 4 times and W 'c' once).
White plays to deny Black the Kobayashi Fuseki. In this and the following example B may respond to W 6 before turning to the lower left.
