I guess this is good, but hm... I have the feeling white will slide underneath on the left.

Central facing influence is more useful to me than edge points right now, so going to make shape:

Yes, there are many variations and B must play correctly, but B should be fine. :)

B does not need to kill; only to close W. And B H8 is correct direction. :) Back to the game.

First instinct is to offer the stone some help from the other side, but I think that's going to turn out to be a horrible idea, seeing as it'll make that white group even stronger...

Wait a second. That stone is two points. The area around it is, hm, eight points? Tenuki is probably best. I could go with `the enemy's vital point is my vital point' and play where 33 was supposed to go, but I think I can do better, as white will play G8... But then, white will play G8 anyway. Going to think about it.

When you state that Black has a big corner, I'm guessing you overlooked the above continuation,
I did not overlook :w2: to :b5:, which is bad habit:
(1) aji keshi: for a very few points, W fixes all of B's bad aji here and makes B super strong;
kills 2 ko threats, and the W (c) clamp is no longer sente, etc.
(2) After :b5:, W is still not alive (e.g., needs :w6:, etc. so W gets gote).

When W jumps to :w2: directly, I moved :b7: down from (a).
The double hane variation was when B has an extra stone at (b), so B (a) was OK (not thin :) ):

That still makes 1-2k ... I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just very aware that even as a dan player, my precision in variations is really spectacular poor compared to professional play. I have spotted a number of things on your variations that you seem to have missed, and disagree with your conclusions on some others (though going through to the nth iteration with further disagreements on here seems fruitless outside of the game in question), and I'm sure a high dan would do the same to me, and a pro would do the same to them.

It seems only appropriate to have some humility with ideas and variations, and your constant "sorry, you're wrong and I'm right, and this is why" is kind of getting to me. Perhaps I shouldn't let it, but particularly in an educational context, I don't see false certainty as particularly constructive. It's something I've always admired about Bill, who not only puts forward really good variations and ideas, but does it in an impressively humble manner for someone so strong.

EDIT: Having calmed down a bit, I also want to stress that I do value your thoughts, ideas, and variations. Even when I disagree, it's really good having as much input as possible :)

I apologise, I obviously wasn't very clear. I wasn't suggesting the knight's move as the way that Black should play, just that it is a more common shape, and that I believe the alternative suggested by Ed to be too thin. For what it is worth, my reading was:

in my opinion your reading is limited to cutting.
i can think of many different way to answer :b1: that is better than your variation and is good for black.
i am not going to say Ed's move is correct but it appears to be correct.
imo it is not thin. it is very solid (in different persepective).

My reading above was a response to Ed's suggestion of a cut, hence its focus around cutting. I agree with you, I don't think Black should cut either.

Hehe, one day I hope that might be true, you are definitely a stronger player than I am :)

I'd happily trade my skills for yours in a situation like this one, this is the kind of position where you end up killing things from nowhere!

I think this is a fairly decent move. Saving that one stone doesn't look worth it, and with this, I'm getting some influence, putting much more pressure on the white group, and messing up white's plan. I'm expecting an attack on the left as white attempts to make some eyespace, or an expansion to the right as white tries to expand his territory. Although, is `try' the right word when success is guaranteed?
