Double Approach

The white 'a' reply is a double kakari. B3 is one way out of a double kakari. B3 is not at b because you're not supposed to attach to the weaker (pincered) stone[1]. Attaching to the pincered stone makes the pincer a bit superfluous. B5 could also be at W6, but this is one possible joseki. White get's the left side, and black get's the top side - which is what black was hoping for with the pincer at B1. - Fhayashi
