Red first move C2=4 or C8=6 is known as Palcorner Opening variation. Palcorner Cannon Opening focuses on midgame and setup endgame. Normally Black will respond with opposite direction cannon. The reason is simply because Red is not possible to transform to Screen Horses Defense, since it palcorner cannon is placed within his proper horses. Therefore, in most cases, Red will transform to Sandwiched Horses Defense to against Black's opposite direction cannon.
