Enclosure Josekis.pdf

Dia. 7 (reinforcement). Even if White invades the small knight
enclosure, Black gets compensation for his corner territory by
building thickness on the outside, as we have seen, but all the
same defending first with Black 1 is a good, solid move.
Dia. 8 (unreasonable). In most cases answering the invader
with a hane on the second line is unreasonable. White builds up
strength on the inside with 3 to 9, then cuts at 11. Black cannot
hope to win this fight: he will lose any semeai with the corner
white group.
Dia. 9 (indirect counter). Switching to 2 is an interesting indirect
response to the invasion. This move is one way of getting
sabaki in the corner fight. White 3 is the answer Black is hoping
for. He hanes at 4 and now has no worries in the corner.
Dia. 10 (trouble for Black). Ignoring Black 2 in order to continue
in the corner with 3 is a much stronger move. If Black 4, White
sets up the cut at 11. Black is in for a tough fight.
