44 Point One Space Low Pincer No Support Stone
While playing on Cyberoro, I encountered this stratagey where W deliberately plays this one-space pincer joseki even without a support stone around 4-10. This seems to provoke a fight, urging B into the middle, which when I did at the marked stone, ended up sourly, as W has the advantage in the fight. Is there any good way to approach this? I know that it is too good to let W have the whole side.
unkx80: I recommend playing the marked stone one line up at a. The marked stone allows White to get a rather comfortable framework by playing at b.
Dieter: Can you explain why the first diagram would be more interesting than this one? White has sente and no bad stone has been played yet.
