| White | Black | ||
| 1. | O 3. | 2. | R 7. |
| 3. | Q 3. This variation is called [[125]]“Kiri Kaeshi.” This move does not attack the corner so aggressively as the precedingexamples. | 4. | R 3.[[125]] |
| 5. | R 4. This is the characteristic move of this variation. | 6. | Q 5. This is an important move for Black; if he plays elsewhere, he will get a badposition. |
| 7. | R 2. White threatens the black stone. If Black defends White can divide the corner. | 8. | S 3. |
| 9. | P 2. “Kake tsugu.” If White does not make this move, Black will get the “Sente” witha superior position. | 10. | S 2. Formerly S 4 was given as Black’s move, but it is not so good, because Whitereplies at R 8 with a fine attack. |
| 11. | S 1. White cannot neglect this move. If Black were allowed to play at R 1, he wouldget the better game. | 12. | R 5. |
In this opening the corner is about evenly divided.
