3473 enclosure
   

[Diagram]
Diag.: 3473 enclosure


This way of enclosing the corner has a number of uses.

[Diagram]
Diag.: invasion should live


If White invades at 1, this becomes the tenuki variation of the one-point pincer?. White can live at the cost of black influence.

[Diagram]
Diag.: continuation


White normally accepts gote to live here in this way.

[Diagram]
Diag.: On the fourth line


If White comes in on the fourth line, Black connects under with 2 and White cannot break through. The attraction of this enclosure is that it is the maximum extension from the 3-4 point that remains connected.

[Diagram]
Diag.: exerting pressure


When White plays the marked stone as a wedge, Black 1 is an idea to inhibit White at a. White b, Black c is interesting for Black.
