[Diagram]
Diag.: Two space high pincer: double jump

The two-space jump at 1 is a light, defensive move. White plays this way to avoid coming under attack too severely


[Diagram]
Diag.: preparing for attack

If black plays at 2, he is strengthening himself. The white two-space jump is now thin, and black can look forward to attacking it later.


[Diagram]
Diag.: taking profit

Black 2 answers white's light move in same. This way, black takes territory and/or sente, but his chances of attacking white are less.
