BQM 134
Path: BigQuestionMark · Prev: BQM133 · Next: BQM135 I got a question on a joseki. It involves the 3-4 2space high-pincer joseki... I was just wondering what would happen if this happened:
To win this capturing race, White must crawl on the second line another two times, and then play the diagonal at -- unkx80 HolIgor: Adding few words to the excellent analysis. A two space jump is to sacrifice. It is played when a one space jump makes the group heavy. Playing fast and light black is ready to sacrifice one of the stones for something else. What if, The pincer was one line lower? Would that change anything?
unkx80: My instinct is to play Bill: I looked these up. ;-) Sakata agrees with unkx80 about the first problem, and Go Seigen agrees with him about the second. Alex Weldon: Also worth mentioning in this last diagram is that a is huge for Black (threatening b), while if White plays there, Black can cut at c and play the double hane at d (actually, should Black just play d without c? These situations always give me headaches) unkx80: Just d. It's really the one-two-three principle.
