Hi Glummie,

Another option: Just turn at R16, W tiger's mouth S18, you atari S17, W connects, then you tenuki and take a big point.

Strange. Options: S14 (mentioned), R15, or tenuki.

Very slow, small, over-concentrated; almost a pass. Tenuki and take a big point.

Ditto.

Follow-itis -- you follow

around like a lost puppy, missing the big picture.

W takes a big point. Compare this board to the

variation where you could've taken this yourself.

Another option: F2 keima; you just want sente ASAP to tenuki.

Bad. The whole point of pushing up to

is to
Live in sente, then tenuki.

Misread ?

Misread/giving W many free points ( and your corner still dead shape ).
Fake-suji. Gote.

Cuts at F15. ( Your corner dying fast. )

F13 hane-block.
You tricked W.

Your corner was dead shape.
