three-four low approach two-space low pincer diagonal
    Keywords: Joseki

[Diagram]
Diag.: Diagonal

The joseki for this response to the three-four low approach two-space low pincer are in general similar to those for the three-four low approach two-space high pincer diagonal.

A couple of points of difference.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Shutting White in?

The position of the pincer (square-marked stone) means that after the typical plays Black 1 and White 2, Black 3 is attractive to shut White in loosely. White 4 is good shape to come out. but Black will be happy enough to answer at a, considering Black 3 an inducing move.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Low extension

In this case Black 1 is also seen, leading to this set shape. Black's stone on the upper side has a chance now to settle.
