4-4 point low approach attachment, 3-3 invasion
  Difficulty: Expert   Keywords: Joseki

Immediate 3-3 invasion

Suppose White invades in answer to BC.



This occurred in a game Yi Sang-hun-Kim Mansu (B) 1995-05-01.

It also was seen in the recent game O Rissei-Alexandre Dinerchtein (B).

Black takes the bulge point

It is expected that Black will play B1, as in that game, for the sake of good shape.



Now the game from 1995 had White next at a. What was played by Dinerstein was the move at b (which he said in his commentary had been played by Yi Ch'ang-ho against Hane Naoki).

Clearly what happens next depends very much on the adjacent side positions.
