High Approach Upper Tsuke White Center
The intention of white 6 is, quite obviously, to build influence toward the center. White is however granting black quite a large corner territory.
The joseki continues with black 1 through black 7. Black takes the corner territory, white gets influence towards the top and the center.
Black 1 instead of black 5 from the previous diagram might seem better, taking sente, but if black actually does play tenuki, white 4 through 10 gouges out black's corner. Taking away the corner territory (and even the eyespace) is larger than a black move elsewhere would be. -- AndreEngels This is a copy of the living page "High Approach Upper Tsuke White Center" at Sensei's Library.
