[Diagram]
Diag.: 35103 enclosure

This is more of a plan than an enclosure, perhaps.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Natural plays

This is perhaps what one now expects here. The question is about White 3. White can simply live in the corner, but is that enough here?


[Diagram]
Diag.: Giving Black something

Judging by pro games, White does best to prevent being shut in first, by playing contact moves on the outside. White a for a table shape is the aim of 5. (See 35PointLowApproachOnespaceLowPincer.)


[Diagram]
Diag.: Coming in at 3-3

Invading at 3-3 must also be possible, but Black naturally plays 2 with more efficient shape. This happened in a 1987 game Yamashiro Hiroshi-Cao Dayuan.
