(;W[dd]C[There are a few choices of playing for white. This is the most simple option.]

(;W[be]C[White can play this shape move.]

(;B[cb]C[Black can also choose to attack.]
(;W[ci]
(;B[dg]C[If black really wants to split, tblack can play here and fight])
(;B[ch]C[or play this bump to split.]))
(;W[ch]LB[bg:B][dg:A]C[White can therefore also consider this sticky move to make miai of connecting at A and B. 
This is a good move when black is strong in the lower left corner.
For an example of this see the game between Piao Wenyao and Li Zhe in the bonus tab.])))
(;W[cf]LB[cb:A]C[Or white can play a more crude move, if he wants to be sure to get A.]
;B[dg]LB[cf:A][dg:B]C[The exchange of A for B is a bit painful, but this is considered a modern joseki.]
;W[cb]C[White finishes her corner.]

(;W[fd]C[This is the most modern joseki.]

;B[dd]
;W[ed]LB[fc:A][fd:B]C[This result is similar to the moves played by Kanazawa Hideo, but with the extra exchange of a black move at A for a white move at B. This exchange is very good for white.

Overall the result favours white.])

There are many more variations, but pros tend to play differently in every game.
So we can not consider them josekis.])))
