[Diagram]
Diag.: How two 10 kyus might play (B10 connects, W11 at 'A')

This is a reaction to MortenPahle in PlaysAgainstLowChineseOpening. He there proposes this line of play.


[Diagram]
Diag.: The resulting position

This is the resulting position. Although to you this apparently seems like a reasonable result for white, I do not agree. White's shape here is bad, especially because of the possibility of the cut at A. Black might even cut there directly, but he can also punish white for his bad shape by playing the moves in the following variant.


[Diagram]
Diag.: A double hane causes problems for white

Black's influence is already comparable to white's, while he has over 10 points of certain territory, and white still has his bad shape and the cut at A to worry about.

Diag.: Another worrying possibility

Furthermore, black can also play black 6 at 1 in this diagram, which again shows a good result for black. White could try playing white 2 at 3, but then black plays at 2, and white will have trouble looking after his two stones in the center, because he still needs another move to live in the corner.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Joseki

Joseki here is to play white 5 as in this diagram. This leads to the NadareJoseki, which is rather complicated.
