I kept trying to find ways to deviate, because I don't want to give him the star point on the side, but I couldn't really find a good spot. I think I have to take a small consolation in the fact that the bottom left is low.

This is what I've been envisioning, and I don't feel like I got a big advantage, but I don't feel behind either. So I guess it's what I'll go with.

I like that R17, N16 have a sort of miai for reducing top right.

I'm not sure how Violence will try and work with the competing moyos now.

Perhaps I can use Violence's reduction of my moyo to reduce his moyo.

IMHO, an approach to the lower right is the biggest move for black.

I think I have to do this... but I'm not sure how to best follow up.

I'm perfectly happy. I was wanting some favorable fighting over here to help me reduce black's moyos and develop a territorial game.

Right, I gradually remembered that this is an insane and dangerous way to play to try to get a good result and I was meant to just play a one space high pincer instead for that reason.

This may be the best way to play against Violence: make him play defensively early.

I can't give him the result in my diagram... I think white's shape is too optimal. I really need to change something. After thinking long and hard about this, I decided to go with this. There are a lot of variations, but I'm just hoping there's some way I can complicate the situation and let it spiral out of his control.

I feel like I have to play strongly here and so cannot eg. sink to the second line.

Alright, into the Magic Sword we go. How much do you know?

I don't actually know that much, but it's not a very well documented joseki to my knowledge. Maybe I can get a decent result here. I have a ladder, so he can get a ladder break, but I don't think it's that good for him.

Does anyone know the modern pro consensus (if such a thing exists!) on if the one space approach to the Kobayashi is a mistake and if two-space high pincer is the correct punishment? When I learnt that (probably in 2007 on Go to China trip from Peter Liu 2p and friends, or maybe earlier) the reasoning was the sequence below: because black can use the peep of 6 to fix the lower side weakness in sente (thanks to the marked Kobayashi stones) he can take sente to extend to 8, preventing a white counter pincer so white's group is a bit useless and can't make up the territorial loss on the lower side by getting a counter-attack on 2. (Now of course this current game has rather more stones on the board so is different, maybe the 8 here being at j4 would actually be an underplay given strong boring f3 in place).

However, I later heard (second-hand perhaps not accurate) that Korean pros now thought the outside attach was a playable answer for white against the two-space high pincer, that the magic sword need not be feared as white could do ok somehow (wasn't told sequence). When I tried this on KGS I often got this result:

This usually seemed playable for white to me as although white is small he is settled and black's lower side is low and still has a gap at a and there's the weakness at c too if black doesn't defend there now (which is solid but slow). In fact if black played :b10: on the right instead of joseki on lower side I'm not sure if the fighting is good for white due to black's k4 stone, in the above line black feels a bit inefficient on the lower side. Even so some games I managed to use techniques like b and crosscut to either break the lower side or kill black's 2nd line group there.

So if this result is ok for white (is it?) should black choose a different pincer like the one-space high? This joseki variation leads to a running fight that makes use of k4.

I vaguely recall learning from an authoritative source a few things that you mentioned. I also don't know the continuations from the Magic Sword in this position (should be very exciting to follow) and I don't agree with your variation on the one space pincer. Black can't just give up the ponuki. I see counter-pincers more commonly.

There has been resurgence of Kobayashi (and high Chinese) on Tygem and the one space approach response. I am seeing a lot of the outside attach, counter pincers, and variations like this:

I feel like professionals intend to sacrifice one of these groups for leverage on either side. The existence of white f3 may make a difference.

This deserves some study. I favor this outside attachment as well.
