Honinbo Shusai's textbook play loses 12½% to par, according to Elf.

Just to show that the side extension from the 4-4 is not some New Fuseki brainstorm. :) Somewhat surprising that it loses 12½% to par, as White does not seem to have any particularly good alternative. This is just an ordinary board. :)

Followed by the two space pincer in the top left corner. When :b31: approaches the top right corner, :w32: cuts at F-16.

Elf's top choice is the AI special, the press in the bottom left corner.

Next White shifts to a different press in the bottom right corner. Finally White encloses the top right corner. Bread and butter play for today's AI. :)

Speculatively:
Current position:
1. C12 and D5 both very big but also somewhat miai. Each is blocked by two fairly strong B groups for development so they aren't making a big side moyo.
2. On the right, R13 to shore up the light stones seems appropriate.
3. Perhaps D5 first, then R13 or something.
4. I assume Shusai defended the stones on the right, perhaps R9

Opp to play
1. D5 is my instinct.
2. R10 seems interesting.

Past:
1. Lower right means B marginally ahead

Check:
1. Shusai played there?!
2. Elf mainline for 13 is interesting, somehow getting the pincer on the left as well as a wall around D5.
3. I didn't expect the AI variation. I see B has a potential liberty shortage if W gets P4 or S5.
