3-3 point
Keywords: Opening, Joseki
The 3-3 point (Japanese: san-san) is a good point, in that it makes territory in the corner, but it is still quite low and makes for a slow development. However, a play on the 3-3 point in itself seals the corner, no immediate further play is required to settle the corner. If you later wish to develop a 3-3 point stone, a keima to a or ogeima to b up to the fourth line is mostly used. For White, the shoulder hit at c, taking influence in the centre, is quite common, but she can also play a kakari at b, d or e. A kakari at 'a' is not so good.
