[Diagram]
Diag.: The connection

The connection of Black 7 in the NadareJoseki is advised to players who prefer to avoid the complexities of the LargeNadare and SmallNadare josekis. It is however also an excellent joseki in its own right, and players of any level of knowledge can play this move whenever they feel that taking territory in the corner in exchange for giving white influence in the center is not disadvantageous.


[Diagram]
Diag.: A normal continuation

White 1 is more or less the only move, and Black 2 is the most usual continuation. After that, White will either fix up her shape with a or play tenuki.


[Diagram]
Diag.: A variation

The only important variation in this joseki (as far as I know) is Black 2 in this diagram. In this diagram, Black takes even more territory, and gives White even more thickness. If Black omits Black 8, White will play there, and Black is more or less obliged to play a, which is painful. White 5 can also be played at b.
