Joseki not popular 1





Secondary Sequence 4

Black 1 intends not so much to attack White to (triangle) but to sound out White's response. This move appears in actual games very rarely. White 2 to 6 are the normal way settling the situation . After 7 , White will attack Black 1 with A or B


Diagram 1 

Here, it is out of the question for White to attach at 1. Thus cut , White will be in trouble.



Diagram 2
It is also possible for White to attach at 2 instead of jumping at4 ,as in Secondary 4 After White 6...






Diagram 3 

 If Black links the corner with the side with moves 5 and 3 , White can then develop the lower side with 8




Diagram 4

If Black dosen't like the result of the previous diagram , he must bend at 3 when White attaches at 3 in Diagram 2 . Up to 6 , both players have strong side positions.


Diagram 5

It is not good for Black to extend at 1 , because White can freely attack the one black stone on the right side with  6 after strengthening the corner up to 4. Besides, the Blacks in the corner are not completely safe yet.
