Elf thinks that it loses 8½% to par. ;) It is not even on Elf's radar. What play does Elf recommend? The Go Seigen/AI shoulder blow at c? Perhaps in a different whole board position. That's actually Elf's fourth choice. In this position Elf's top choice is the pincer at d.


A pincer or a tsume? :study:

My first impression is that everything looks like joseki here. However, I don't understand why W seems to have the first move in 3 of the corners.

In the upper right, it is better for W. And B has an extra move. In the lower right, B has unusual shape for attacking. W needs to live soon and probably can with R9 and O7 without too much pain. After that, B simply seems to have no territory.

The upper left is a classical joseki which is slightly better for W.

The sum of lots of small W advantages and no B advantages makes this good for W.
