It repeatedly run into a corner variation where I - even after having encountered it several times - have difficulty finding proper moves.
Just one example (I am white):

Next I think the corner approach is normal, black then pincered and which I thought was a mistake, because the following variation is better for white:

I'd also say, you should enter the corner when you approach the top right and Black pincers.
But if we go back one step, I don't think that the top is the interesting area right now. Your Shimari is low on the third line, you don't have much potential there compared to other areas on the board. And Black, too, would not want to approach your strong corner enclosure.

I'd play :w1: here. :b2: is peaceful and :w3: seems natural. Black will most likely approach at 'a' now. Later you can play 'b' to break up Black's side. Since you have the strong position in the top left, you can control Black's prospects at the top.

Thanks for the reply lovelove.

So you would suggest upon being pincered to always invade at 3-3, and not consider jumping out at all?

I really want to learn how to deal with bord positions like this, where my opponent does not answer with a move from the corner:

Or is it really so bad for white to jump out?

Thanks for the reply lovelove.

So you would suggest upon being pincered to always invade at 3-3, and not consider jumping out at all?

I really want to learn how to deal with bord positions like this, where my opponent does not answer with a move from the corner:

Or is it really so bad for white to jump out?

I don't know. I'd just play moves that pros suggest in the opening, and do what I want to do in the middlegame.

My first instinct would be this, but yes, please elaborate.

Or maybe change in move order?

I'd love to get the intiative like this. :w1: combines extension and attacking, :b2: is purely defensive and White gladly takes a big corner. And Black is not even safe with this group.

:b10: and then maybe White 'a'? Looks playable to me. Since White is now stronger at the bottom he can also aim at Black's corner in the bottom right.


post scriptum: Alright, two against one - I will take my hat for now ; ) I guess I will eventually learn it, or - who knows - maybe you will? =D

Because of the :w4: - :w6: enclosure, Black's development on the top side is restricted. Therefore I think that the bottom side is better, and an approach at any of the :w8:s looks good. (Agreeing with SoDesuNe. :))

I do not agree that :w10: - :w12: is good for White. The :bc: stone is well placed to counteract White's eventual wall.

Through :b17: is good for White. Now White can invade on the right side. At :w18:, for instance. :)

I disagree with lovelove that this is good for White. True, :bc: is a little far, but it has a good relation to the stone in the bottom right corner. If White continues with :w16:, I would be happy to play :b17:. :)

In reply to the pincer I would play a double approach at "a". :)
