This is a move I did not expect by white. I basically have two choices: 'a' or 'b'.

My problem with 'a' is that if I play it, he will then do a one-point jump from his left-stone and if I follow with my own one-space jump, I will have cutting points. Normally, if he had omitted the peep and jumped instead, and then followed up with the peep, I would not block at 'a' but at 4 below.

So, I decided to play this move directly, so that I do not passively submit to his peep and end up with badly-placed stones. Next, if he pushes through at 1 below I will play 2, following which both 'a' and 'b' are miai.

Honestly though, I have no clue what his next move will be. I just think that I am in a fine position no matter what he does.

never seen that move played before....
but i have a feeling that it is not a correct response.
and i only have one response for that move (i think).


only logical reason for him to play as he did would be the cut as below. my unusual play worked little so i will consider him a weaker player that i can bully as usual. below is one of many variations i can see.

I like the spirit of it too, but I can't resist the urge to comment with some tewari analysis.
Let's look at the same position but a different sequence.

If this were the starting position:
