Are there any pages on this anywhere? Or maybe lectures.

I'm trying to learn some 3-4 joseki and this seems like the best opening for this purpose. Especially since pincer plays become optimal.

Of the games i've played with this opening i've noticed a lot more fighting. And also more opportunities to use my influence to push my opponent around

so that's been fun.

I've seen some coverage in Dictionary of Basic Fuseki and another random Japanese book had a bit on it. I haven't seen anything in English on it.

I don't know of any links, but I'm trying to clarify the terms used.

TTBOMK, the term "double komoku", is either a "facing komoku" or an "opposing komomu". I think that the terms have been misused on SL.
