3-4 point distant low approach tenuki
  Difficulty: Expert   Keywords: Joseki

[Diagram]
Black's tenuki

It is possible for Black to ignore WC here. This position may also occur as a 6-3 point joseki.

Normal idea

In practice this sequence appears, in pro games, which is the same as if there were a black pincer stone at a (3-4 point distant low approach) and the usual variation. At this point some deviation should occur.


[Diagram]
Continuation

These are pro plays: B1 to control WC, W2 to kill off BC is then thick.

See also 3-6 point pincers for some ideas that are rarer, in pro games anyway.
