Systematic Joseki 4-4 3-6 6-3 8-3/Discussion

looks favourable for black to me? -- Evan

Don't forget black started and played a move more -- Gul

Why doesn't black play B5 at a to avoid the white peep at b? --Evan

Shaydwyrm: My thought would be that since white can't live in the corner even with the peep at b, B5 is better placed to destabilize white's stone at W2, or later jump into white's position on the right in endgame.

Yes even with the extra marked stones, Black is safe. A white attempt or 2 might be later added as vars.. Reuven
