3473 Enclosure
    Keywords: Opening

[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 by transposition the tenuki variation of the three-four low approach one-space low 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.


Example moved to wedge - when the approach is possible.
