4-5 point 4-3 approach ogeima, tenuki
  Difficulty: Advanced   Keywords: Joseki

[Diagram]
White's tenuki

For White to ignore Black's cover BC is actually recommended in Ishida's Joseki Dictionary. There is a celebrated complex joseki (possible unexplored joseki) if White tries the ordinary-looking play at a.

Black's moves



Here Black at a might be the normal play, while Black at b is known (White can then live quickly at c), so that would be a matter of direction of play, if Black favours the upper side.

Black's move at 'a'

If B1, W2 is a 'book' piece of shape, making miai of b and c.

Continuation

This is from Takemiya Masaki-Yuki Satoshi (B) 1995-10-26, colours reversed: Black 11 at a, White 12 at b. White has no trouble making life, but concedes a big wall.

Extra tenuki

In this game, we see Takao Shinji play tenuki not only against WC (the two white moves were played in reverse order in this game), but also against W2. After W10, white (Morita Michihiro) is very thick in this corner, but has spent three moves to do so. - Andre Engels
