This position came up in a recent game (didn't progress beyond this point) and I was wondering if the double hane at 7 is an overplay. Kogo's says 4 is a mistake, but doesn't have any variations like this.

Double hane feels fine, though the simple extension is already a good result.

This is the usual continuation. :w4: is the right move almost unconditionally. The spacing of :b7: can change.

If you must go through to :b7: in this case I think the right shape is made with :w8: and :w10: here. The reason this is bad is because of the opening at a that Black can exploit. I didn't read much ahead, but because of that I think a Black play at B and onwards would put White in a world of pain.

This is the likely continuation. White has a serious defect at a which Black will most definitely exploit. In fact, I think playing at a instead of :w4: would be much better. I still prefer Black in this situation, partly because he has sente. Of course, b is a big point in the endgame.

Just my thoughts. I'd love to be corrected if stronger players find problems with my variations. :scratch:

This is an interesting line. It seems at the end a and b are miai for Black. The point c looks like a nice tesuji too whith ends up capturing the marked stones at the expense of :b3: . Of course, that would make d Black's sente at any time.

Just an idea.

Of course. :b9: does the trick nicely. :oops:

Actually :b7: isn't even necessary.

Now I feel my whole line is wrong somehow. At any rate White should play :w2: at :b3: to begin with, if anything.
