3483 enclosure
Keywords: Opening, MiddleGame
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.
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.
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. This is a copy of the living page "3483 enclosure" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
