[Diagram]
Running fight in the low Chinese fuseki  

In this variation of the Low Chinese Fuseki, White makes Black heavy by playing W1, then pincers with W3. Black counter-pincers with B4, after which a running fight starts with W5 and B6. Both the black and the white group at the bottom lack a base and must therefore run into the center to survive.
