Getting ahead with keima
  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Tactics

Keima

Black is ahead in running down. White can consider getting ahead with keima.

In the resulting position, Black can get ahead with keima too.

Keima

Usually, one will play keima from a strengthened postion. If one jumps from a weaker position, the cut can become dangerous.

Therefore, White will probably stretch, Black will get ahead by stretching and White can now consider getting ahead with keima again.

Black ahead

The keima should be compared to what happens if White plays the straight-forward nobi at W1. Black can play double hane, and stays ahead. White's position is pushed far more to the right.



Therefore the keima is an alternative to consider, rather than get the pushing the cart from behind position in a pushing battle.
