My first thought: this is a pro game?! I can't say I know that this move is bad, but the shape is so ugly.

Some are born ugly, some achieve ugliness, some have ugliness thrust upon them.

Maybe something like this, to preserve connection and deny eyespace? Seems like an odd space, but it might work?

Greed, wanting all of the eyespace for myself... After just watching Razorbrain's video on greed and thoughtlessness, I wonder if perhaps I should have stuck with the simpler answer...

My personal instinct is to preserve the connection while getting a bit out, but it seems awfully passive...

someone said upthread that weak players should comment too, so my instinct...
White has six liberties and the upper center is empty. If B were to play around there, that would be worrisome. Besides, if W keeps trying to move out in the normal direction his groups would flee to the center (which far stronger players than I have suggested :roll: ), he's inducing B to surround a large area. :w58: is empty and offers a (somewhat awkward) direction for W to flee to in an emergency.

"a" might be good too. It whispers to me, "Black, separate the two white groups", which would strengthen d11 without strengthening g10. But a doesn't make a play for part of the upper side. If it were me I would probably play j16.

Thank you. I guess I should be less concerned about those two stones being cut off. I'm reading a book about sabaki but never seem to think of it...

White's two stones are too heavy for sabaki. He is committed to keeping them. Therefore, he won't play Magicwand's :b58: at H12 because he loses them like this:

Instead, he will play Terr's move that keeps him connected and that begins to make eye space:

Joaz, what is so valuable about those two stones? They have been answered below; they are kikashi. Their use is to protect the keima.

I don't think W is committed to saving those stones at all -- he can treat them as forcing moves which B already answered. I like the immediate W jump which others have suggested, but I think I would push once first, exchanging 1-2 before jumping to 3. After that, moves at b and c are miai.

i think below is a one way street.
i was not suggesting immidiate knight move at all. i only suggested that knight move is better move than the slow move suggested by others.

i have a feeling that if white cut immidiately it will be bad for black.
there is no reason to make it complicated at this stage of game.
also black extending is a solid and probably correct move.

How do people feel about this fight? Last time I asked, most people said they would rather be White.
