Diag.: The large avalanche

After black 3, the large avalanche pattern is complete (see for the variations where white 2 or black 3 is played elsewhere LargeAvalancheSimpleVariations). White 4, black 5 and white 6 next are forced, after which black can choose among A, B and C.

Nowadays, C is the most popular variation, while B is also still played often. See for the follow-ups:
