Hane Naoki - Yi Se-tol 3rd CSK Cup 2004-03-22

Dave: Yi played B1 in order to end in sente to play B3. Note that in this and the other pro games where B1 has appeared Black always plays tenuki after W2. This is a normal, although quite rare, joseki. It may offer opportunities for White to go wrong but what joseki doesn't?
