jump is a normal response to the pincer
but on 3 stone handycap game you dont have to fight to win.
below is one variation i can think of which is very complicated and risky for weaker players.

i am not going to claim that any of them are better than plain jump but it is something to think about.(personally i think all of them are better than plain jump in handycap game because it is not heavy and very flexable so not easily attacked).

if i dont have any target to attack i can not win 3 stone handycap.
i am trying to create one so i can grab the flow of the game.

although it can be played, tenuki dont appears to be correct at this point

now i am really curious how will Magicwand respond. i understand his intention of getting a target to attack but i doubt i would be confident enough to let black jump out now. i suppose i would instead try to take immediate profit and neutralize black stone's aji with D10 or something (however slow it looks) and then look for an opportunity elsewhere.

i find it fascinating how much handicap games rely on who gets the right momentum and iniciative - when white manages to 'lead' black around the board, then however skillful black's defense might be, he has a hard time keeping the game in his favor. on the other hand, once the weaker player smells blood (as i like to say), it is white who must show how he can dodge black's attacks, not speaking about making points for himself

Now that you say it, it makes sense and I completely agree.

he is not a target because of that aji.

I don't feel much pressure, so that makes me wonder where I should play. :scratch:

I feel my stones are pretty strong in the bottom left, so I need not worry about responding. My previous move was one that both grabs potential points, and aimed to weaken white's stones:

White has played a move to strengthen his stones. I thought about responding locally:

This is OK locally, but is it really necessary? White has strengthened his stones in the area, so even if I play as in the above diagram, white's stones are strong...

No. That's not right. Now that I've expressed my thoughts in writing... I think that playing as in the above diagram is fine. That's because white's stones are NOT strong yet. And if white plays to strengthen them - well, then I can take sente. Why should I tenuki right now when I can play as above to threaten to weaken his stones more?

Yes. Through this explanation, I have convinced myself to play a different move than I originally had chosen.

I had originally chosen this move:

But there's no reason not to respond locally at this time. If he ignores - well, I can look forward to attacking his stones later.

@observers:

I don't understand why Kirby played that move. OK, white has to respond, but hasn't this exchange just strengthened white while doing, well, not very much really, to help black? What strategic or tactical feature have I missed that makes this a good exchange for black?

But this area seems kind of double-sente for black and white. It might be a little bit "aji keshi" for me to play this, but I really want to play it so that white doesn't atari me. In other words, I don't want white to do this:

This move prevents that, I think in sente, and then I can move on to the next area of the board that I want to play in.

As far as I know, White doesn't want to play the marked move, because it takes a lot of Aji out of the corner (B3/C3) and even makes endgame (A4) smaller. With Black playing D6 now, C9 is almost dead and White in kind of a good position on the left. So why playing C9 in the first place?
Sente is nice, no doubt, but I would have played C4 after White's Kosumi-Tsuke. Black has still a lot of Aji with C9 then because White is not strong, though - of course - Magicwand would like to fight it out.

Well, almost dead doesn't mean, it has no Aji at all. But compared to the diagram below it has significant less Aji, respectively when it starts to run, the corner has significant less Aji, too.

I assume, Magicwand's last move already aims at the Aji in the corner.

You seem to be using "almost dead" to mean something completely different. :)
