3473 Enclosure



This way of enclosing the corner has a number of uses.

[Diagram]
Invasion should live



If White invades at W1, this becomes by transposition the tenuki variation of the 3-4 point low approach one-space low pincer. White can live at the cost of black influence.

[Diagram]
Continuation



White normally accepts gote to live here in this way.

[Diagram]
On the fourth line



If White comes in on the fourth line, Black connects under with B2 and White cannot break through. The attraction of this enclosure is that it is the maximum extension from the 3-4 point that remains connected.


Example moved to wedge - when the approach is possible.
