I couldn't find the position on Sensei's library with the search position function, so I used the MoyoGo pro game database. In the majority of the pro games I checked A was immediately played by black.
I'm not sure if this information is reliable. Surely, a pro wouldn't have played
if it was gote and bigger points were available elsewhere (such as B in this example).Quote:
I also have a question about Black B: it seems like a severe attacking move. Would it be possible to play one line higher, on the fourth line, to combine attacking and building the right side for black?
We'll need to wait for someone stronger to reply, but this feels too easy for white.

As to how to deal with the white ikken tobi on the lower side, there were three answers that occured in pro games:
1) The sequence Black A, White B, Black C
2) Just Black C (white often leaves the position for another part of the board at this point)
3) Tenuki. Not defending the territory in the first place seems to provoke this response quite often from pro's in this position.

Thanks. I did the more frequent sequence without knowing it then, but it's still painfull for black.
as a response. Thanks Harleqin.
