Dieter: After a search on Gobase, I realize one can't speak of joseki here. The variations are just too much.

Charles Matthews Brave guy! I think there are some unexplored joseki out there. I have heard tell of a Yasunaga Hajime variation that may be poorly documented.

Low hane

[1] In this peaceful variation, the corner temperature rapidly cools down.

Bill: And white+circle is more efficiently placed than on takamoku (b). This is better for White than the corresponding takamoku joseki.

Now a will soon become very big, both making and denying a base.

Bill: I doubt it. (That comment was made before I added W4. But if Black wants to attack if White omits W4, a is not the place to play.)

[2] a, b, c or d are considered joseki. The move at e is interesting but bad for Black, usually.

Noseki

To B1, W2 is the best reply (IMO, please confirm). The corner is big.

This B3 is unplayable. White will get enormous thickness and influence in all directions :

Tricked ?

If W2 here, B gets the corner and sente. It looks as if White is tricked.

Dieter: What is not clear to me, is whether a is now too important for Black to play tenuki. This result somehow reminds of a result of the large avalanche but for Black having sente I think.

[Diagram]

The other side

This way looks fairly equal. Should Black use his sente to play a ?

I disagree with 10. It isn't needed to defend the cut, since a geta will do.


Tenuki

[3] DaveSigaty: You mentioned a second tenuki by Black at the top but did not show any variations. It is actually Black's most frequent choice (per GoGoD, I didn't confirm on Gobase), so it should also be considered joseki, no ? :).

[Diagram]

Second Tenuki

White most often plays 3 to which Black answers with a, b, or a third tenuki.
