In the game MigeruVsAlexWeldon we encounter the following position in the left top corner
Black played ikken tobi
But what is the root of the problem?
Black's intention to separate the white groups is good. But what is the shape? Which move does it efficiently? I have realized this right now, looking through the game. I often play "standard" moves such as ikken tobi without thinking. And quite often I have a feeling that this is not the best way to play. So, I decided to post this as a problem. The solution was not obvious to me at the first glance (though I knew what Ishida recommended in a slightly different position).
