The pincer forces White out as f is now unreasonable and is a fighting move.


Moves Explained

  • a?, Black choses between the getting the right side and getting the corner and influence towards the center in exhange for a White right.
  • b lets Black have the right side and in exchange attacks the pincer stone. Probably the easiest variation.
  • c?, slightly reminds of b in mentality but a much lighter variation.
  • d? is said to be a complex joseki which goes by the name of The Magic Sword of Muramasa typically ends with similar results to a.
  • e is a mistake because White gets either cut or Black shuts the top off.
  • f? is an oversight because of the pincer stone.
  • Tenuki? is possible.
