[Diagram]
The diagonal move

The diagonal move of W5 is much like the jump at B7, and several variations actually are the same except for the order of moves. This is one of them, so I refer to the jump variation for the continuation.


[Diagram]
Simple connection

White can also just connect with 3, after which Black 4 is correct shape. As is quite common in the tsuke nobi joseki, this variant ends with White extending on the top and Black on the left side.


[Diagram]
Too much aji

If Black blocks at 4 here, White's stone at 5 in the corner has too much aji.


[Diagram]
Another transposition

Blocking at 2 directly is a possibility. Again we see a reversion to a position we already saw in the jump variation.


[Diagram]
Simple

Black 2 on the 3-3 point is the third possible answer. White can again convert to the joseki of last diagram by playing at a, or she can leave the position open by simply extending to 3.
