10-15 21-17

10-15, called Kelso, is towards the center, but from the double corner. It is considered Black's fourth strongest opening. (Some experts say it is as strong as 11-16, which makes it the third strongest opening along with 11-16.) White's 21-17 reply is the strongest and gives him an edge because it takes advantage of Black's hole on square 10.
