What about?

We have practiced the tripod group at our club. In response to W1, B2 is the intuitive move for many players. We were wondering why this would be "wrong". I think that under these conditions, with all that open space around, this is actually a good move, but the tripod often appears in enclosed space, so that a white attachment at a becomes dangerous. Moreover, if there were an escape route along the left side, White would have blocked at B2 instead of W1. So, B2 at a is the main line.

Black escapes but ...

So, Black escapes, but loses his corner territory and, what's more important, his eye potential there.
