Lesson board
Lower-left corner Star point, small-knight approach, kosumi-tsuke.
Black shape
The standard higher choice. It keeps more outside potential and is better connected to future fighting or center development.
White base
More open toward the center and future fighting, but Black can later aim at the second-line point.
