5-5 point josekis

   

If you know which joseki you are looking for,
the best way to find it is to use the [ext] position search.

Andre Engels: Not much joseki is known for the 5-5 point, not only because it is played rarely, but also because common wisdom seems to be that a 5-5 point is better left alone than approached in most cases. Here are some variations that have been played by professionals more than once, and thus might be considered proto-joseki.

pseudo-joseki 4 (white 11 at a)

Actually just once this sequence, but I wanted it in because earlier moves in the sequence have been played more than once.

Shouldn't white 11 be at "b"? ~srn347
