KGS Plus lecture for 5/11/05

Guo Juan on the variations after W star point, B K's approach, W one-point pincer

First she examines a trick attachment and cross-cut. Must try that sometime.

Option 1.
B goes into 3-3 point,
** W blocks on the open side if he has a stone already, B makes 2 along, 2 down.
W's hane inwards is not strictly sente as B can extend from stone on second line.
B's hane outwards is very sente as W must defend, else B clamps and starts to threaten W's wall of 3.
** W blocks between, B makes the 3 and 1. Guo examines the variations of playing one point away from the 1 on the third line, and then B walking out. Both quiet nobi or interesting cut are possible.
24 minutes.
