The suggested sequence, if I recall correctly, is also joseki and can be found in many books. It's good advice for sure. In A Compendium of Trick Plays, Kageyama says that the "easy way" is correct, and the other line of play is unreasonable.

Makes sense, as fighting when the peaceful variation gives a huge profit is very strange indeed. -- Anonymous This is a copy of the living page "Easy way out of a double kakari" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
