[Diagram]
Diag.: Three-space pincer

Black 1 is a very classical move. Naturally it is more slow-paced than the closer pincers.


[Diagram]
Diag.: White's replies

White's traditional replies are at a for immediate life, or at b, taking up position while waiting to see what Black has in mind.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Life

With 1 and 3 White has enough room to live. Black next plays at a to keep White shut in, or b.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Come out

White can also come out with 3. That leaves behind a shape point at a that Black can play later. It also allows Black a more efficient shape than in the next variation.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Come out first

Comparing with this order of play, White 1 here first seems more consistent.
