Could you provide some hint as to what Black threatens? My diagram is a somewhat unusual or archaic joseki, but it has been played several times not too long ago, for example, by Park Jung-Sang in 2005 (although it appears more often in older games). I have never seen the keima.
A good system naturally covers all corner cases without further effort.

to all go players who whats to improve: whether you seen the keima shape or not i dont care. i am sure you can read why i am suggesting keima. i really dont care if the professionals played such move before. it leaves cutting point aji and i think white's shape is bad so i dont like it. why are people trying to copy professionals? many times they expriment with new shape and later conclude it to be suboptimal. if you can not feel the weakness with your own skin you will never imporve. have your own opinion and do not accept the joseki just because it is written. many times i experiment with new shapes and josekies before i accept the the fact the shape is bad or good. i am thinking that is one of the reason why i improved faster than others.

The only difference is that is now at 'a'. Can this difference mean that the white stones are now weaker?
Also, White has a stone on the left edge. I think White's must be fine in this diagram, and Black's shape feels more acceptable. The cut at "a" if White pushes feels very hairy to me.

The most important thing for me is to be the strongest player in China. I am focused on improving my skill to achieve bigger successes. I believe that the best women seek successful men, and I have not yet achieved enough success.
So he admits that his goal with improving his Go skill is to get the best women. Refreshingly frank, though not surprising of course.

However, for that I think that it would have been better to play this:
Strange... I distinctly remember the move in-game as a joseki. After that, if memory serves, Black should play somewhere around the White stone along the left... but now there is this White stone there, of course, so it seems good for White. Anybody can do their google magic and confirm that?
The 3 you suggest looks really weak... no need to play a 2nd line move like that in this position... yuck.
