| Post subject: | 3-4 joseki question |
The following occured in one of my games: a and b are two possible continueations for black. Since after b white could play d because the ladder favors him, black seemed to not want to play b. But if he would have played a, white could play c and look forward to either pressure the top with e or the left with f. But black then played e himself: Now if white plays a, black can choose between b, c and d. Either way: How can white attack the top group in the following position(?): Seems hard to refute the deviation from the joseki at my level. There is a pro game with a similar position, but in more than one way it is different: http://eidogo.com/#2z4Nrt:0,29 |

B18 is a temporary attack on the upper side group. If Black defends the top, White attacks the left side. |

Yes, b18 is sente now and leaves Black's top group over concentrated. Black wishes stone were further out at B or he played A instead so b18 wasn't sente and could play a more efficient move such as g16. And like Robert said "If Black defends the top, White attacks the left side." |
