Punishing Fuseki Mistakes Problem 1
   

[Diagram]
Black to play

White has made the mistake of pincering at WC, which is inconsistent with his move at 3-3. The 3-3 stone emphasises on territory only and does not have noteworthy shimari or extensions. White should have played at either 'a' or 'b', which should both result in a better development for W than this pincer. The question is however, how should black take the advantage?

Bill: I don't like WC, either, but I'm not quite ready to call it a mistake. I do not like a, either, because of the avalanche. c looks OK. White's 3-3 mitigates the effect of any Black thickness, and any White thickness should support a kakari against B3.
