Normally black extends with :b7: and white hanes and connects on the second line.

The question is how to respond with white.

I was told this is an old joseki, and is playable for both. The old joseki was:

But recently I watched a Baduk TV program by Kim Seongryong on refuting trick plays, which considered :b7: in the initial diagram to be a trick play.


He suggests instead this as the best line for both, but black should use it only in special circumstances:

$$ | . . . 6 . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]


This seems much better for white than the old joseki. But what if black extends at :w8: with :b3:?

$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]


Kim says letting white play :w4: is an insult from black, and after :w6: black trick has been refuted.

My question is how should white answer :b1: in the next diagram?

In a game I played before watching this lecture I played as follows:

$$ ------------------
$$ | . . . 7 . . . . .
$$ | . X X 2 3 . . . .
$$ | . . O X . O 9 X .

$$ | . . O O 1 4 . . .
$$ | . . . . 6 8 . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]


but the result doesn't seem bad for black, as white is undercut, and there's a peep in white's influence.

So it seems to me after having heard that :w6: in the previous diagram refutes black's trick play that white ought to play :w2::

$$ | . . . . 3 . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . 4 . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]


Probably :b5: not best, but the point is white gets a kosumi and an atari which allows a knights move for the top white group to escape. And black's corner group still doesn't have two eyes.


PS: this is my first post on 19x19, so please forgive me if the diagrams don't show up correctly!

I don't know the correct answer, but there's a shortage of liberties pattern in this position:

$$ | . . . 6 . . . . .
$$ | . X X 3 4 . . . .

$$ | . . . . 1 2 . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]

After :w1:, Black can't answer with :b2: because his position collapses. Black also can't cut at a. So I'd start with :w1:, and maybe then connect at a after Black's reply.

The shortage of liberties also exists if black plays here.

$$ | . X X . . . . . .

$$ | . . . . 1 . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]


If black makes the empty triangle, then white connects:

$$ | . X X . . . . . .
$$ | . . O X . O 3 X .

$$ | . . . . 1 . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]


And if black just cuts white for :B2:, black collapses.

I missed the shortage of liberties until crux pointed it out.

Post subject:  Re: An uncommon move in a very common joseki

I agree with both of you, and in your variations white seems to have a better position.

Black might decide to sacrifice the corner, but I suspect that can't be very good. For example here:

$$ | . X X 4 6 . . . .

$$ | . . O O 1 . . . .
$$ | . . . . 2 3 . . .
$$ | . . . . 9 . . . .

Hello,

I'm also working on that joseki.
I'm trying to see what happends if black plays :b7: instead of (a)

$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .

$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]


I suppose white will replay like this :

$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . O X . O . X .

$$ | . a b . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]


and then I dont find any good continuation for white whether black plays (a) or (b)
but I'm sur I missing somthing because the standard joseki is like this instead of doing a hane at (a) ...

Any advice on this ?

@Oca: Your supposed move :b7: is a well known joseki mistake (you can also call it "variation" :mrgreen: - there may be special situations, where this move is justified, though). You can find some first explanations in http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=159735#p159735 in the game comments from move 20 on.

A further good posting is http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=145347#p145347.

There is a lot of material on this "variation" on SL:

See also http://senseis.xmp.net/?44PointOneSpace ... Underneath for some discussion of the original variation.

Cutting is not correct unless you get the hane-connect in first (same is true of the clamp).

Thx illluck,but I don't understand what you mean by "the hane-connect in" :oops:
Here is what I saw on SL about the clamp, is "the hane-connect in" :w4: ?

:w4: is a hane, :w6: is a connection, so together they for the "hane-connect". The word "in" is not part of the term.

Post subject:  Re: An uncommon move in a very common joseki

English grammar rules are confusing and seldom obeyed. He meant "get in" (verb) the "hane-connect" (direct object).
