(;W[nc]C[Hi! This is our last lesson on 3-4 josekis. We're going to look at the two-space low approach. The two-space low approach is played pretty often.]
;AB[pj]CR[nc]TR[pj]C[Players usually choose this approach when Black already has a stone on the right side. ]
;AE[nc]
(;AW[oc]C[If White approaches like this,]
;B[mc]C[Black will pincer. And this stone will help Black attack White's group. That's why the two-space approach is sometimes played instead.]
)(;AW[nc]LB[lc:B]LB[pc:A]C[In general, this approach is more flexible.]
(;B[pc]C[If Black secures the corner,]
;W[kc]LB[ke:B]LB[ne:A]C[White extends along the top side. So White can avoid being attacked severely.]
)(;B[lc]C[Black can still pincer though.]
(;W[qc]C[No matter where Black pincers, White can attach here to manage the group.]
(;B[rc]C[If Black bends here,]
;W[pc]C[White can easily settle by stretching here.]
)(;B[pc]C[So Black should play more aggressively like this.]
;W[pd]C[Cutting here now is important. And for Black, the move order is worth paying attention to.]
(;B[qb]C[Black should atari here first.]
;W[rc]
;B[od]C[After that, Black ataris again. This is the right move order.]
(;W[pe]C[Remember this move order! At this moment, extending is the only option for White.]
;B[oc]C[After that, Black connects here.]
;W[rb]C[Playing here efficiently captures the black stone.]
(;B[qe]C[Black can't move the stone out like this.]
;W[qf]C[It's an overplay.]
)(;B[of]C[Instead, this jump is a proper move.]

)(;W[qe]C[So White has to capture this stone. Up to here, it's a joseki. Even though it's a long sequence, you can remember it easily by understanding the intention behind each move.]

)))(;W[pb]C[White can't resist like this.]
;B[pe]C[This diamond shape is too painful for White. It's no good.]

;W[pe]C[Some people would argue that it's the same.]

;B[qc]
;W[ne]C[White can capture the black cutting stone in a net. White isn't necessarily better than Black. But the point is that Black gave White the choice to play differently. For Black, there's no need to give White this option. So you should be careful about the direction of your atari. White isn't necesasarily better than Black .
