The most frequent replies to this approach move in professional play have been (in their order of frequency in GoGoD CD):

Statistics:
4505 matches (1071/3434), B: 49.7%, W: 50.2%
Ba: 1945 (1936), B51.0% - W49.0% Black may also play tenuki here. That allows White to play a second approach on the other side, called a double kakari. A double kakari of that kind is more severe on Black than in the many variations where Black plays a pincer here and White replies with a double kakari. -- Charles Matthews
Question about diagonal attachment response moved to kosumitsuke joseki. May I ask, given that all knights are the same size in chess, why can the prefix small be justified in this title?
The "small" designation serves merely to differentiate it from the "large" knight's move. In fact, "knights move" is an anglicized term for keima, a Japanese word that refers to the formation without relating to knights or chess. Other languages also have specialized terms. Would anyone would like to elaborate? Kirk
Aw, a sensible answer. I was hoping somebody would say - Don't be silly, you have different sizes of sets. It does make me wonder though, why don't we use the word keima in preference to knight's?
Uwe: In fairy chess the figure which moves like a ogeima is called a camel. What about making a difference between knight move (keima) and camel move (ogeima) ;-)
Recommended response to 44-36-56 is a, b, or ...? -- Frs unkx80: At a would be common. This kind of play often leads to competing moyos. Andre Engels: According to my game collection, actually b is the more common answer. Both moves are joseki, however. Other moves are all rare. [1] Bill: Gee, I thought this was the low approach.
