High Approach Double Tsuke Cut

Keywords: Joseki
This is a classic complex joseki, involving an important ladder. Black 7 has also been played at a in some games by top players.
After these plays the ladder with Black 10 must be good for White, of course. Otherwise White 5 must be moved to 8. Black probably checks that this ladder is good for him before cutting at 5 in the previous diagram; so that this sequence doesn't appear in games between players who know what they are doing.
When the ladder is good for Black, which we can therefore presume, White 1 is best, when Black 2 and 4 set up miai: either we have Black a, White b, Black c which captures the corner, or Black makes the severe cut at d. Therefore White is in some trouble. There are quite a number of variations in pro games, this being an example of an unexplored joseki. Recently it seems that Cho hun-hyeon is willing to play the white side of this position: perhaps White's loss in the corner cdan be compensated for by pace, in his style.
