Wimmer Joseki

Wimmer joseki is a very rarely used joseki invented by Manfred Wimmer, 2pro.

The Wimmer joseki arises from a usual joseki (see diagram below)


The Wimmer joseki starts with black's block at 1. The usual respond for this move is at A.


The joseki goes as below.


After the sequence, black 1 is a must. Or black's position will be horrible.

A must!


A horrible continuation

After all, I think this joseki is playable if you have the ladder. If you don't, think twice. Have fun with this joseki :D
