Keima Kakari
  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Opening, Joseki, Go term

A keima is a knight's move. A kakari is an approach (or attack) on a single corner stone.

So, a keima-kakari is a stone that approaches a corner stone by being a knight's move away.

Diag.: a keima-kakari

White 1 here is a keima kakari. A keima kakari is often used to approach a hoshi stone, as it is flexible and can respond to whatever Black does (unlike an invasion at the 3-3 point which is very limited).
