This is a special-purpose pincer, as used in contemporary play. Why is this a special purpose play? I played this the other day in the club in a 4-stone game and my opponent looked like I'd given him a present, but nothing too bad seemed to happen. Did he just mess up, or is there no way for white to really punish this move?
White's ordinary answers are at a, b and c. The jump out at j, standard in old Chinese games, is sometimes seen.
