3-4 point distant low approach
Keywords: Joseki, Index page
White can choose this approach (kakari) to avoid a severe pincer.
Black's answers to the distant low approach include:
- The kosumi at a emphasising the corner is by far the most common answer.
- The shoulder hit at b is played when Black is aiming to develop the left side, notably in the Kobayashi fuseki.
- The pincer at c emphasises the right side.
- Tenuki variations are not uncommon.
- Other possible answers are the other pincers or extensions along the left side.
