Suppose plays a pincer. White has prepared for that - is played to have a good option towards the corner in this case. Nevertheless, if Black wants to build influence towards the upper side, is a very good option.[1]
There are a few cases (3-4 point distant low approach, one-space low pincer, tenuki) of White playing tenuki after .
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/4/c45b711b9700152132ac86898c0f7476.png) | Standard follow-up |
The sequence from to is standard.
The order of and in the previous diagram is important. If Black plays the atari at here first, White has the option of answering with the counteratari at and capture . Usually this is better for White than the joseki. If Black
chooses the correct line of play, White has no alternative.
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/4/9aec9a266688ea5fbd4b3db91ad4666a.png) | Continuation |
The standard variation continues with here. Up to , White gets a solid group and Black builds thickness. can be played at a instead, but that does leave bad aji and is now infrequent in pro games.

Playing instead of looks logical, but in the sequence to , White collapses. After , killing the corner with a and attacking in the center with b are miai for Black.

If White is willing to give something up in the corner, so as notto be enclosed, she can play at . Black can exchange Black a for White b in sente, but usually he will not do so, because the marked stone still has a lot of aji (Black b creates a ko, for example). More usually, Black either plays tenuki or pushes up with .

Alternatively, White can play at instead of . Pressing against the black stone in the corner, she strengthens it, but also strengthens her own stones. After , the joseki continues with White a or b. Compared to the previous joseki, we get a reversal, with White facing the top and Black the left side.

Black can also play here. Black now takes the corner, giving White the outside.
White can also cut, with at : this leads to a transposition to the joseki above.
