is a "famous" tesuji (I've seen it called that by Alexandre Dinerchtein). Does anyone know who first cam up with the play at 71.192.14.49: Re: Question: Does anyone know who found this tesuji?

Bob McGuigan: This tesuji is given in Ishida's joseki dictionary, volume 2 page 177, diagram 69, but he just describes it as "well-known". I am sure that this tesuji is very old. It is worth noting that Ishida describes the tesuji move as "dangerous" because, depending on what's on the upper side to the right of the corner position, Black may be able to push and cut.

The earliest example in a GoBase search is by Fujisawa Hideyuki in 1963 vs. Sakata Eio. In a game a year earlier Handa Dogen played the diagonal attachment instead.
(A little later): It does not appear in any of my joseki books, which indicates that it is of recent origin. So the 1963 game is probably the first time it was played.
