After Black 3, the Large Avalanche pattern is complete (see Large Avalanche Simple Variations for the variations where White 2 or Black 3 is played elsewhere ). White 4, Black 5 and White 6 next are forced, after which Black can choose amongst a, b and c. Here a is the oldest variation, b is newer and c is most modern, having been introduced by Go Seigen in a game against Takagawa Kaku in 1957. Nowadays, c is the most popular variation, while b is also still played often. See for the follow-ups:

John Fairbairn A reminder that double figure ''kyu'' players only need learn one nadare variation (if that) ... Charles That's like taking a little boy into a toy-shop and telling him he can only have a yoyo. I forgot to mention that of the 1150 or so games there are about 650 discrete variations - hence one of my hobby horses: there ain't no such thing as joseki. JF Charles John, as sympathetic as I am to what Gogod does, today's mass posting of commercially-motivated material to SL by a publisher shows the hazards of the mildest plugs.
