Black 13 and 15 on the main diagram is a new trick-move (very complicated one), which was recently invented in China. Black can use it only if he has a low stone (Black 7) on the lower side. You can see the common joseki on Diagram A, but its not so good for Black, because the stone on the side is not working effectively.

White has a lot of options. You can see the first one on Diagram B. Blacks corner is huge and he can be satisfied. The attachment on Diagram C looks like a tesuji, but its not working well.

White can take the corner like on Diagram D, but Blacks wall would be really powerful. The variation on Diagram E and on the next one is quite complicated. White can make a ko fight, but he has to add a lot of stones for winning it.

What is the best way for White? He may think about the plan on Diagram F. The fight looks hard, for White, but actually, he can easily save the both groups. The result on Diagram G (White 2 is on the first line, on the left of Black 3) looks slightly favorable for White. This is the best punishment, I know. It is probably better to avoid these variations by using the plan on the Diagram H. The result is about equal. The variation on Diagram I is playable too.

White may also think about iken or keima kakari. There are lot of ways of preventing the trick!
