corner

The intention of W6 is (quite obviously) to build influence toward the center. White is however granting Black quite a large corner territory.


[Diagram]
joseki

The joseki continues with B1 through B7. Black takes the corner territory, White gets influence towards the top and the center.


[Diagram]
Sente? (Black 3 tenuki, Black 9 connects)

B1 instead of B5 from the previous diagram might seem better, taking sente, but if Black actually does play tenuki, W4 through W10 gouges out Black's corner. Taking away the corner territory (and even the eyespace) is larger than a black move elsewhere would be. (See though tenuki is always an option.)
