Advance to Chencang by a hidden path

This seems to work well at my level (15k) against handicap. Remember - the joseki used by Black is learned by memorization without adaptation.

Diag.: A four-stone handicap game

What White really wanted was to finish the top area - and so makes a kakari from the wrong side. Black obligingly sets up the pincer, and the double kakari joseki is finished (with slight variation) at White 9. White 1 was a light stone, achieving the settling of the top through the indirect approach.
