[15:58] mark5000[7d]: This is a text-based lesson about 3-4 joseki. Find past lessons here: becoming 9-kyu-a-series-for-beginners

Move 0 + 18

[16:10] WISHMIRRA[18k]: hi !

Move 0 + 20

[16:11] mark5000[7d]: Hi!

[16:11] ZbigniewWodecki[2k]: hello

[16:11] WISHMIRRA[18k]: 1st time here!

Move 0 + 14

[16:12] jillgoodgal[8k]: push white towards the side first

Move 0 + 16

[16:12] WISHMIRRA[18k]: there is a Twitch channel or something ??

Move 0 + 19

[16:15] jillgoodgal[8k]: white still gets the net, but little room to develop

Move 0 + 8

[16:19] mark5000[7d]: So we've learned about two responses to this approach: A and B

[16:19] mark5000[7d]: That's all the material I prepared for this lesson. Are there any questions about these patterns or anything else we talked about? :)

[16:20] jillgoodgal[8k]: what if white jumps out after the pincer instead?

Move 0 + 10

[16:20] mark5000[7d]: Like this?

[16:21] mark5000[7d]: This is also possible.

Move 0 + 11

[16:21] jillgoodgal[8k]: yes, now depending on what is in the top right it seems potential to isolate the black corrner or M17

[16:21] mark5000[7d]: But many people wouldn't like to solidify Black's right side area like this.

Move 0 + 12

[16:22] mark5000[7d]: But you're correct. After Black solidifies the framework, White can change direction and shoulder hit or pincer this black stone.

[16:22] mark5000[7d]: The result would be even, or nearly even, with Black having a slight edge.

[16:23] jillgoodgal[8k]: and white

[16:23] jillgoodgal[8k]: q17 or

[16:23] jillgoodgal[8k]: Q18 could be played later

[16:23] mark5000[7d]: Good eye.

[16:23] mark5000[7d]: Q17 is still a key point for both players.

Move 0 + 11

[16:23] mark5000[7d]: Actually, Black can play here first.

[16:24] mark5000[7d]: It just emphasizes the corner at the expense of the right-side framework.

Move 0 + 15

[16:24] mark5000[7d]: White would push Black down in sente.

Move 0 + 8

[16:25] mark5000[7d]: Other questions?

[16:25] jillgoodgal[8k]: thank you for the lesson!

[16:26] mark5000[7d]: You're welcome!

[16:26] jillgoodgal[8k]: I have been emphasizing jumping out recently since otherwise I end up defending tiny groups

Move 0 + 9

[16:27] mark5000[7d]: If you play the joseki that we studied today, you can't go wrong. Feel free to experiment with jumping out from this approach though!

[16:28] jillgoodgal[8k]: you might still get the joseki after jumping out

Move 0 + 10

[16:28] mark5000[7d]: If White extends, White can jump to A or B later.

[16:28] mark5000[7d]: This is probably the most common.

Move 0 + 2

[16:30] mark5000[7d]: All right. Thanks for watching, everyone. See you next time.
