Okay. So at first I thought that this transposed into my prior analysis, to the point of almost choosing a move based on it. This shows the hazard of analyzing while on a conference call.

So, probably for the final time, this is what I had planned.

The difference between the two is that the change of order means that we didn't get pushed southward one spot first. That would help the liberties both of black's corner group and our weak group. Going to re-analyze, just to make sure that this doesn't hurt is in any horrific way. Looking at options a-c.

First, b (alphabetic ordering was never my strong suit).
Hidden Section:
It seems likely that b will allow black to choose between transposing into a or c. If one option is better than the other, I want to be the one to pick it, so we'll probably end up passing on that.

Now, a.
Hidden Section:
This is actually very nearly identical to the old diagram, but shifted one space higher. The difference means that black's corner group has one less liberty, but we do not have sente to take 9.

I do not think that we need to respond locally to 2, because even if they jump to E18, I think we can seal them in or kill the group escaping. Black may live in the corner, but it's tiny if they do. Black cannot cut after 3, because then we immediately get to either kill the cutting stone or to kill the two stones above, which would be awesome.

My concern here is that fighting on this side will weaken the top group. Let's continue.

4 pulls their two stones out safely. That takes away the threat of capture that haneing put in the first place, so we have two weak groups. Either we need to stop and defend one and hope the other is okay, or we need to not hane in the first place.

From here, black will either push us low on the left or attack the top, which scares me more. First, they will have to seal us in though, which lets us take the initiative to defend above.

If black plays like this, we lose the fight, so the cut at 9 in the previous diagram doesn't QUITE work. We could use it to go the other way, but I don't like how much that hurts our other group.

Okay, I think black's corner group dies if we have sente, and is ko otherwise? So our corner should live, though black gets massive eastward thickness. If I get scared, I'll just play to kill the group.

Something generally like this shows that we are no better off than we were starting at a. Black's side group has more liberties, his two stones now have more help, and we don't really get anything for it.


I'm kind of overwhelmed trying to analyze any further on 'a'. However, I can tell that both 'b' and 'c' are worse. So. Let's do 'A'.

As an aside, I'm more and more happy to have D7 there, if we'll have a group running in that direction.


Holy cow, trying to read this deeply is hard. I'm sure most of my diagrams are fundamentally flawed. And yet... let's go for it?

...noting that it is not any better than variations from a different move. I disagree.
A better perspective on this variation would be to include the whole board, and another move or two. White must contest some eyespace with 4, and black must defend with 5 or die. So the relevant diagram for evaluation really looks like this:

I have no clue if this is joseki, but I know it works well with our position in other parts of the board. There are two important stones, marked in the diagram above.

The lower left:
The marked stone at D7 is very important because it has so much potential. If black gets to something around 'a' first without adverse problems, our stone is in trouble, and black starts getting territory there.
Furthermore as soon as those three black stones are safe, then black can drop into the lower side like this:



Show Diagram Code[go]$$Bc
$$ | . . . . . X . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ | . . X . X . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ ---------------------------------------
[/go]Hide Diagram Code

...and white is in trouble.

But if the three black stones are vulnerable, black cannot come into the lower side because white gets an easy double attack like this:

$$ | . . . W . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ ---------------------------------------
[/go]Hide Diagram Code

So as long as black cannot easily play there, white retains the option of a move like this - which is gote but big:



Show Diagram Code[go]$$Wc
$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ ---------------------------------------
[/go]Hide Diagram Code

So the stone at D7 controls who gets territory on the left, and influnces who gets territory on the bottom. Any joseki in the top left that can extend down to help it is - all other things being equal - a good joseki.

The lower right:

Again, we should get out of the cardboard box, and look at the whole world:

Without going into tedious detail, if you look at the whole board, you can see that the marked stone at Q4 matters. In the upper left, there are three groups that do not have eyes. That leads to fights, and fights often have ladders. White has the ladder breaker.

In summary, little brother's move, although locally decent, does not work as well with the rest of the board as the alternative.

Therefore...



I do not approve. I like this move better:

6 in the second diagram threatens to save stones, and still keeps sente for 10. This is an odd sacrifice to me though, so I'm moderately happy as Black if White plays this way - I can't see any other plays for White (8 at 9 or 10 in the first diagram leaves Black to take 8, and that's such a key point I think White must play it) that don't end up with him getting his top group sealed in, so it makes more sense I suppose to sacrifice and seal Black in instead, but bleh, feels like a big local loss to take and a not particularly solid wall.

I agree with Joaz's analysis, and will only add:

We're fine here, since we have a and b as miai.

Here's the triggered move, which goes to Violence, and we also need to add the prisoners back below the board:

I was starting to analyze, but half my diagrams weren't working. I think I just messed up the syntax somehow, but I'll figure it out later. Regardless, time to make nachos. Busy weekend, but I'll make my move as soon as I've had time to analyze. Joaz and Shape aren't a safety net to get me out of having to think. =D
