3-4 point distant low approach
This gives an overview of 3-4 point distant low approach Josekis that have a page (or several pages) on Sensei's Library.
For each joseki a standard sequence is given (this is one of the more common ones, but need not be the absolutely most common one), and an overview of pages dealing with that joseki and its variations. See also the [statistical analysis| 34PointDistantLowApproachStatisticalAnalysis]
White can choose this approach (kakari) to avoid a severe pincer.
Black's answers to the distant low approach include:
- The kosumi at a
- The shoulder hit at b
- The pincers at c, d and e.
- Tenuki variations. See for example 3-6 point pincers. This is the fourth most frequent choice in professional play, after a, b, and c. When Black plays tenuki, White more often than not plays elsewhere as well.
