In the original game, white pincered the black group in the lower right. Also, if somebody could enable coordinates on this, that would be great. I don't remember how.

Also, I'm back. Hi everyone. :)

You just add a 'c' after $$B. You can click show diagram code to see what I mean since I edited the diagram for you.
The B stands for black plays first. The c stands for coordinates..
I'm thinking...

Welcome back buddy

this fuseki look very bad for white in my opinion

isn't a fuseki suppose to be equal on both sides

Looks like white is playing way to solidly and fell behind in the opening

I'm pretty sure D15 is much better for white than a move on the bottom. If white does that, I think white would be ahead.

The only question is whether or not black can punish white's two-space extension in the lower right...
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

I feel like the shape in the bottom right is punishment in and of itself. There's so much aji in that extension :twisted:, there's no way that there won't come a time where white needs to add a move there to prevent something nasty.

The two space extension has a lot of bad aji and so it for example drops the value of J3 for white because he's thinner on that side. Otherwise, maybe something like this:

Actually, with this sort of sequence in mind, J3 is looking bigger than it did before.

There is a nice video about how to deal with the (wrong) two-space extension in this joseki:
