Expecting:
This would have been interesting:
Unfortunately the ladder works, so this is not good for me. |

Now the question is whether DJLLAP will tenuki, or play another move at "a" and give me sente. We'll soon see.

A gote sequence, but I want to play solid and not give any openings. |

Peaceful result. B can debate between the local wedge sequence or 3-3 at (a) — so big:

Now that the top is more or less settled, I want to strengthen my position. The problem is, I don't know what is best. Here are some of the options I considered (in no particular order):
The move I chose is some sort of compromise between b/c and d/g - it should protect the corner reasonably well (better than b or c anyway), and also help the right side somewhat. I don't know how playable it is, but I'm hoping someone will tell in their hidden comments, so I will be wiser after the game. One interesting option was e, which I think threatens to link my groups:
I didn't choose it because I'm uncertain whether I need to answer a response like:
It looks like my top group is much more vulnerable again, if I tenuki |

I am thrilled to get this point. I feel like if black took it, I would be hard pressed to win. The corner he made a move in is also not totally secure yet either, so I think this may have been a small mistake for B. Maybe stronger players would say that it is fine, but against me, I think tengen would have been a pretty harsh blow. |

@DJLLAP Why did you choose tengen and not a nearby point? Was it because it has a dot on it? |

@ Uberdude First one to Tengen wins! |

I don't know what is the best play here, but I do think that it is important for each player not to play too close to the White wall on the top side. Here is a thought.
Or is that too slow for White in a 3 stone game? |

I'm not sure how I should deal with this, but I still feel no drastic measures are needed (I usually do until it's too late). This feels like a mutual big point, enlarging my moyo and reducing his. |

Or maybe also because it is the exact center of the board and I like symmetry. In any case, I could play at a nearby point, but I probably would have no idea how it would affect play. There are just way too many branches for me to figure out. |

Responding in the bottom left seemed really slow. This seemed like the weakest of the weak spots, since B's enclosure is high. I played high instead of low, because I didn't want B to get a wall facing the center. |

I find the exchange - good for B. If B gets the upper left 3-3 (instead of = (b) in the game) then takes (a), W is quite behind I feel. |
