Getting Ahead with Keima

In the resulting position, Black can get ahead with keima too.

Diag.: Keima

Usually, one will play keima from a strengthened postion. If one jumps from a weaker position, the cut can become dangerous.

Diag.: Keima

Therefore, White will probably stretch, Black will get ahead by stretching and White can now consider getting ahead with keima again.

Diag.: Black ahead

The keima should be compared to what happens if white plays the straight-forward nobi at 1. Black can play double hane, and stays ahead. White's position is pushed far more to the right.
