Nadare joseki

The Nadare joseki is one of the most famous joseki. The Japanese word nadare means 'avalanche', referring to the typical shape (the similarity will be clearer if you watch the diagram up-side-down). There exist several variants, of which the Onadare (large nadare joseki) can grow quite complex.


[Diagram]
Onadare

This much-played variation is known as the Onadare, which means 'large avalanche'. It starts a number of complicated variations. See LargeAvalanche for these. If either player wants to avoid these complications, White can play at a or play tenuki (move elsewhere) with W8, or Black can play at a or b with B9. These are described in LargeAvalancheSimpleVariations.

A simple variation

B7 is advisable for those players who are not comfortable with their knowledge of the nadare. Black steers the joseki to a simple variation without giving in in any way - the result is equal. See NadareConnection.


[Diagram]
Ko-Nadare

With B1, Black starts the ko-nadare ('Small avalanche') The moves upto B5 are forced; after this White can play a or b, but b depends on a ladder. See SmallNadare for the continuations.


[Diagram]
Double hane

The next variant of the nadare is when Black plays the double hane of B7 in this diagram. Traditionally, the answer to this move has been a, after which usually Black will try to get influence down the left side, but nowadays the white extension at b is gaining popularity. For the double hane variation, see NadareDoubleHane.

Sagari

B7 is similar to black a in that it is peaceful and takes territory. For this variation, see Nadare descent
