Post subject:	After a common joseki
Greetings, I was recently introduced to a sequence(after joseki) to a fairly common joseki. However I have gotten mixed feedback on which sequence that can be considered better/correct. The sequence starts with move in the next diagram. Click Here To Show Diagram Code `[go]$$W $$ +-------------------- $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . $$ \| . . . O . . . . . . $$ \| . . X . . O . .

X , . . . . . , $$ \| . . . . . . . . . .[/go]` I was first taught that black should not answer with because of this the hane at which leads to a common double ladder situation. At that time I was taught that this is the correct sequence for black & white. Click Here To Show Diagram Code `[go]$$W $$ +-------------------- $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . $$ \| . . .

When I looked at a GoDatabase with pro games, it seems this was the most common way of playing out the sequence. Over to some full board positions played in a recent game, three stones handicap against 2dan EGF. I played black.

To tell the truth, I'm not 100% sure. If I remember correctly, call me out if I'm mistaken, I do think I saw this in one of SandStorm3[AGA 5dan/KGS 4dan] lectures. The second variation I was told that Hwang In-seong[8dan EGF?] had taught in one of his lectures. Which I do not have access to. Edit: It was in SandStorm's lectures, he did not directly say that the move was bad, but the way he presented it, it seemed like that was what he was trying to express. Showing what I mean in the spoiler below: Click Here To Show Diagram Code `[go]$$B $$ +-------------------- $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . $$ \| . . . O . . . . . . $$ \| . . X . . O . . O . $$ \| . . .

Therefore he showed the variations I showed earlier in the thread, and said that it was more common way of playing. oca wrote: Click Here To Show Diagram Code `[go]$$W $$ +-------------------- $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . $$ \| . . .

After looking at more pro games it seems there are a little mistake in my diagram: Click Here To Show Diagram Code `[go]$$W $$ +-------------------- $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . $$ \| . . .

O X X O . . . . $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . $$ \| . . X , X . . . . , $$ \| . . . . . . . . . .[/go]` To play at the marked stones instead of "a" seems to be more common. However I have seen pro games which where "a" is played.

You can't say hane under or nobi is correct, it depends on the position. There is also the option of hane on top. With hane under and then push up after the cut you can connect and keep the territory but white gets thickness. With nobi you get split (bad in your game) but don't fall behind in influence. How much you can profit from the fight after nobi depends on the rest of the board. As for your game, is much too slow and non-urgent. Without thinking much I like the 2 space pincer on the top side.
