Angle Play after Diagonal Attachment
Keywords: Opening
I hope this fits in with Alain Wettach's conception.
The problem is with White 5. I see this often when White enters Black's sanrensei. Black can get good territory by playing at a; while in a handicap game playing at b for influence is also good.
If White really wants to make a base, playing the marked stone is better. The common play is c, but that can mean that White is driven out into the centre.
From Takemiya Masaki-Jiang Zhujiu 1988-08-21. Here White 1 takes into account the earlier exchange of the marked stones to the right. White lives quickly (White 11 at d) and claims that Black is a little overconcentrated to the right. In return, Black can claim greater security on the left: to invade at e and get the answer Black f is seemingly a bad idea for White, seriously weakening her side group.
