Sub-page of Honte

Both moves and are examples of honte.

Bill Spight: I think that is honte, but is korigatachi. How about this?

This is a good example of honte; but in the next Diagram 2 the creates some aji.

It won't be easy to catch this white group, specially with a little help from some friends. -- Holigor

Bill: Well, at a looks better, eh? ;-)

Let's do tewari on the first example diagram.

After , the exchange black+circle / white+circle favors White.

If Black is going to come back and protect at , better not play the black+circle keima first.

We see the exchange of - when Black has instead made the one-space pincer ( black+square stone).

Then Black does not come back to protect.

Holigor: I like this discussion. I am most interested in what happens after joseki. The interest is even bigger taking into account that I managed to kill the black wall in a way similar to Diagram 2 this week :).

Now about the move a in Diagram 2. In a game between Kobayashi Koichi and Cho Chikun in a similar situation, the following thing happened.

This resulted in a furious fight.

Material moved from honte by Charles Matthews; example and comments were by HolIgor.
