Anyway, regarding the opening, I don't really like :b5: personally. White can still approach the corner and :b5: isn't too effective of a pincer compared to one space closer. I would rather approach or enclose a corner for :b5:.

:w8: I think would do better as a keima. Kosumi seems a bit slow and scared here. If white's that concerned about the corner he probably shouldn't have played a 4-4 in the first place.

Ack, sorry, :w8: was a keima in the game. I accidentally placed it wrong in the diagram. Yeah, the move I was most concerned with was 5, but I really WANTED to like it. =)
