Dia. 35 (the 2nd line attachment). Attaching underneath at 3 is<br />

another variation. However, White has to be careful, as there are<br />

various counters available to Black. Next —<br />

Dia. 36 (submissive). If Black is kind enough to play at 1,<br />

White happily forces with 2 and 4, then extends to 6. A comparison<br />

with Dia. 34 demonstrates that this is bad for Black. This is exactly<br />

what White wants, so Black has to look for a chance to counterattack.<br />

Dia. 37 (a fighting game). Fighting spirit makes Black want to<br />

push through at 3. White naturally plays 4, but Black 5 is a thick<br />

move. Up to 11 Black does manage to stop White from getting<br />

eyes, but White has destroyed Black's corner territory, so the position<br />

is even.<br />

Dia. 38 (the crosscut tesuji). The crosscut of 2 is a tesuji. Black<br />

answers solidly at 3, so White uses his stone as a sacrifice to force<br />

with 4 and 6, then defends at 8. Black can still aim at attacking at<br />

the vital point of `a', but White is closer to settling his group than<br />

in the previous diagram.<br />
