Diag.: High double kakari

The high double kakari of White 1 is played less often than the low one of White a. It also has fewer variations; rarely is anything played except the sequence to White 5.

The quiet exchange of Black 6 for White 7 is again joseki. Compared to the position with White 1 at a, the left side is more important. Black has interesting follow-up moves at b and c, places he would not dream of playing if White had the solid position with White 1 at a.


[Diagram]
Diag.: No resistance

The great advantage for White of the high double kakari, is that Black can't now try to resist by playing 1 here. White can march right through Black's position with 2 to 8, and after White 10, Black's position crumbles.
