[Diagram]
Diag.: Corner

Recently, the solid connection at 6 is coming up as an alternative for the hanging connection at a. The idea is, that after White's attachment at b, Black's defense at c is impossible. Thus, White is more or less guaranteed the option of playing either at b or d.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Simple joseki

Because the corner is quite large, Black 7 is a common move. White concludes a simple joseki with 8, but she can also play tenuki. As of Jan 2003, up to 8 is very fashionable in pro games.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Hane

Black could also play the hane at 1. This diagram shows one possible continuation. Instead of White 8, White a-Black 9-White tenuki is also possible.

As stated, the advantage for White over the hanging connection is that after White a, Black will have no choice but to answer at b.
