Balmung, if you wish we could treat this as an open game where we could see each other's comments. I think it will be a good learning experience :razz:

originaly I didn't read this out right I didn't realize 7 and a might be miai correct me if I'm wrong but a at move 8 seems to make this a even harder fight in your favor, and I might be wrong about sequence of moves.

Edlee's variation is sente for black, yours is gote. Also in the last diagram, 6 is better at 7, and then black is unconditionally dead.

I was just wondering if there was a reason that Ed thought that black would take with five instead of extending. I was wondering about ways for white to exploit the aji of the marked stone later.

Like the jump to b.

$$. X O X O O . |
$$. . . X . . . |
$$. . . . . . . |
$$---------------[/go]


Which I perhaps black could respond with the jump to 2 and I think the exchange was bad.
So I'm wondering if there is a good reason for black to not extend.

Ok, that makes sense. For some reason I was thinking that either way of playing ended in the same status for sente/gote.

What Shaddy said. :) Sente/gote is very big.
Also, W may not be able to atari at :w6: if W cannot afford the ko,
in which case W would just extend to :w8: directly, so B still has sente.
So the :b5: capture is clean, clear, good aji (for B), and sente -- all the good stuff. :)

Balmung, you can read all my hide tags, I just use them for organization.
This is the kind of move you don't even bother thinking about. White simply has to connect here for his previous moves to have any meaning. Now, Black has a choice. He either fixes his cut and the fight becomes complicated, or he takes outside thickness and sacrifices the corner. I'm happy with either.

I wonder if white can sacrifice one more stone to end in sente in above variation...

Or it can get really messy:

Is this okay because I want the outside influence and you said you happy either way

Is it better to jump out or connect my two stones in the upper right? tell me what you think I really feel the jump is more valuable and I think you spliting invasion is an ok price to pay.

Several remarks:
i) general: the heuristic 'capture the cutting stone' is more often than not a safe guidance.
Hence, the first diagram with side-ponuki for Black and corner for White is preferred by me.

ii) technically:

$$ ---------------------------------------[/go]

often one should consider the hanging connection, as shown here.
However here this would be so weird after an white A, B (+ C?) exchange,
that again, I go back to remark i) 'Capture the cutting stone'.

iii) Tesuji :w9: must induce exchange A-B, which white happily accepts for the lower side.
WD could follow.
What comes hereafter is speculation to me, yet I evaluate it not bad at all for White.

iv) Other suji is the simple extension, threatening a ladder A-E,
even if Black extends to F (hence he might bamboo @ G),
allowing W to jump out with J.

Black's resistance M is better not answered by hane N, if W wants to keep her 3 stones below (as they might be valuable against the black corner), hence a submissive jump to P seems ok, and B will extend at N.

I tried to cover something in variations.

Yea, I'm fine with this. Looking at this, Black position on the board feels a little low overall. I'm not quite sure how that is immediately exploitable or even bad at first glance, but there's no rush. I can just take this large point so far. I'm choosing high instead of low because the low move seems to make the board seem too settled and boring. I want to invite a fight on the left.

Is there a strategic difference between finishing the 3-4 enclosure with the 4-5 and finishing it with the 3-5? I get that the 4-5 has an open skirt (is that the right term, when there's no black stone under it yet?) and is higher, 3-5 grips the corner the corner a little more strongly, but what's the strategic purpose you're trying to accomplish when you choose one over the other?

Playing high makes it possible to develop in two directions.

That's the idea, although H16 is way too close on this board.
