Tenuki joseki
Keywords: Joseki
Given that tenuki is a break in alternating play ...BWBWB... in some local situation, and a joseki is a set pattern of play (approved by experts), this should mean such a set pattern that fails to go by alternation.[1] Just a few adjustments to that definition: a sequence BB in a corner is perhaps an enclosure, and that's not really meant here.
This here is more reasonably identified as the (ordinary) 5-3 press joseki rather than a 3-4 tenuki joseki.
It does however seem more natural to regard this double kakari joseki as being a 4-4 tenuki joseki, rather than a 6-3 joseki.
For some concrete variations discussed here on SL, see tenuki joseki pages index.

For example Yu Ch'ang-hyeok has been playing tenuki as Black in this position in recent years: [1] For something about when you can and can't break off, see joseki and tenuki. The local sequence will not indicate a failure of alternation if it is resumed by the player who played tenuki (case of a sente tenuki sequence).
