Joseki of the week 7
This week, we look at a 4-3 joseki.
White makes a high distant approach and black responds with a low pincer.
White directly contacts with 4(d16) to which black plays an outside hane at 5(e16)
When black plays 1 at c18, white often settles the position with the above sequence.
White can now choose between securing the corner at a(b18), or playing a pincer at b(d9).
Black may play 1 at e18, Giving white the the corner, while black takes sente.
