3-4 point high approach large low extension

  Difficulty: Expert   Keywords: Joseki

Two-space extension  

This B1 was really not seen as joseki, until very recent times. Now some variations are being worked out, just over the last couple of years.

Tsuke-hiki  

After W2, B3 at a has been tried too. After W4 Black may play tenuki: but at b for strong shape of course natural too. The question will be what use Black can make of the solidly-supported low stone black+circle.

Variant  

Another way to play is W1 here, for influence. After W7 Black probably connects at a, allowing White to extend on the top side.
