A new continuation

The marked approach move fell out of fashion, a or b being favoured instead, but White's continuation of 1 caused a re-evaluation of the position.

[Diagram]

First idea

AlphaGo likes to play the push through and cut to the standard response of B5

[Diagram]

First idea

This line was completely new in terms of ideas, the end result is acceptable for White.

[Diagram]

Second idea

The critical line is then this. Without the marked stone, B1 is generally considered an overplay. Here though, Black finishes in a comfortable position.

[Diagram]

Third idea

This is one of the positions played in the game, which although favourable locally for Black, was not considered to lead to a global advantage since Black had invested so many moves locally.

[Diagram]

Isolated Idea


Considering only the joseki itself, AlphaGo suggests that the above continuation is normally the most promising.
