35103 enclosure

This is more of a plan than an enclosure, perhaps.

Natural plays

This is perhaps what one now expects here. The question is about White 3. White can simply live in the corner, but is that enough here?

Giving Black something

Judging by pro games, White does best to prevent being shut in first, by playing contact moves on the outside. White a for a table shape is the aim of 5. (See 35PointLowApproachOnespaceLowPincer.)

Coming in at 3-3

Invading at 3-3 must also be possible, but Black naturally plays 2 with more efficient shape. This happened in a 1987 game Yamashiro Hiroshi-Cao Dayuan.
