3-4 contact play

This contact play W1 is a normal measure taken against the 4463 enclosure. Since the 3-3 invasion typically becomes ko, W1 is a simpler approach to take, though it means that Black can take a solid corner if he so chooses.

Black's replies

In pro games, Black next at a to confine White to the corner is somewhat more popular than Black at b, to defend the corner territory and allow White room on the left side.
