yk 4d* - kishiko 4d*

This is game 82 from the Go Teaching Ladder.



Here W3 is a typical device to do something for a corner shut in by a double approach. (Cf. 3-6 point pincers.)

Continuation

Here B1 was a little unreasonable. White should have played W6 at B7, to avoid being shut in.

[Diagram]

Variation

Black can play more simply here for influence, up to the table shape B7.
