Standard.
With supporting White stones not too far away, White 1 can be
an effective reducing move. The variations that follow give a
general idea for what Black and White can expect out of this position.
Through 7, White has successfully reduced Black's framework,
and should have easy access to the center. White can later
play at A to separate the Black stone on the side.
Black variation.
Black 6 is an all-out play worthy of consideration.
Black 8 is the only move.
After White 9, a complex situation arises with possibilities for both sides.
Black variation.
Cutting with Black 6 is unreasonable. White plays simple forcing
moves up to 11, and the marked Black stone becomes useless.
Black variation.
If Black gives way with 4, White simply pulls back
with 5, and Black has no effective follow up to take
advantage of the pushy White group.
