3-4 point low approach two-space high pincer press
    Keywords: Joseki

[Diagram]
Press

When White presses with W1 after the pincer, both of Black a, and Black b to cut, are possible.


[Diagram]
Running along

If Black runs along with B1 and jumps to B3, White probably plays W4 and W6 for good shape and space in the corner.


[Diagram]
Cutting through

When Black cuts through instead, with W1 and W3, the position will become difficult for White if she fights on the left. Instead W4 is normal, trying to set up a driving tesuji. Now B5 is the common play (at a and b are also pro plays). After B7, White at c is honte, but White could consider pincering Black's marked stone.


[Diagram]
Cross-cut

Black's marked pincer stone works so well with B2 that W1 here is hard to play. White at a and b have been tried instead.
