Hosai's formation - high variant
    Keywords: Opening

[Diagram]
Diag.: A more balanced formation

This side formation was much more popular than Hosai's formation itself (enclosure at a), for reasons of balance. Black with another play at b can make a good territorial formation.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Wedge

It is natural for White to play the wedge 1 at an early stage, and for Black to play the checking extension from the side of 2. Then White 3 is light and White can reasonably play tenuki after Black 4.
