One space low pincer, one point jump and peep

   

BramGo: I wanted to start some discussion about the following move, which is probably an overplay. I wish to leave it open for stronger players who have more insight in this matter.

At first sight it seems to remove a potential cuttingpoint at an early stage but it does of course have an influence on all existing joseki variations. It looks like it starts an early fight where black will get bad shape, nevertheless black looks a bit heavy.

Basic Problem

A peep

Uberdude: Connecting seems a good idea: Even A Moron Connects Against A Peep. I am not convinced black benefited from this exchange.


Slight variation

The same peep at a later stage


Hoshi variations

The hoshi variation

With the hoshi things are easier at first sight as there is an easy way to live in the corner.

Hoshi peep at a later stage

Here things seem to look easier as the marked stone is not as close as in the basic problem situation.
