Takemiya Style San Ren Sei

Still a work in progress. Please leave the body of it alone until I'm done. This shouldn't be showing up on RecentChanges yet. Sanrensei is one of the most basic fuseki patterns these days. However many people get into the habit of plunking it down thoughtlessly, and as a result many have come to dislike it as a "cop out" pattern that leads to boring play. I was of this opinion for a while, then I started to take a serious look at professional games. Takemiya Masaki often plays the sanrensei fuseki and in studying his games I have gained a fresh appreciation for this opening. Takemiya has developed some very interesting and unique ideas that I believe are worth studying and have made this opening more interesting. These pages are the culmination of studying dozens of openings from Takemiya's games with the hope that they can provide some new and interesting material for the readers games.
Takemiya has developed a unique joseki that generally only works well with the sanrensei pattern. I've called this Takemiya's Kosumi for lack of a better idea. This move is b in response to the approach at a. Another response to the approach at a is to play tenuki at c (yonrensei). This move is a little more widely played by other pros, however the earliest instances of it I found were in Takemiya's games.
