Two-space extension

This B1 was really not seen as joseki, until very recent times. Now some variations are being worked out, just over the last couple of years.

After W2, B3 at a has been tried too. After W4 Black may play tenuki: but at b for strong shape of course natural too. The question will be what use Black can make of the solidly-supported low stone BC.
