Diag.: 3483 enclosure

If White wants to play here, at a looks to be a good idea (compared to b, anyway). The reason is that according to the missing pincer page, the black stone on the side won't be as well placed.

Diag.: Trying tenuki

This occurred (with White 3 tenuki) in a 1942 Oteai game Sekiyama Riichi-Takagawa Kaku; giving us therefore by transposition a missing pincer tenuki variation.

Diag.: White struggles

White had trouble making sabaki here (Black a, White b, Black c followed). This was Sekiyama at the height of his powers.

Compare staircase sabaki technique.
