To Dusk Eagle:
If your plan was to lean against the cutting stones, did you consider playing
here to lean from the start?

What I'm currently considering:
$$Bcm30
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm30When I played the knight's move, I thought he might try and push through, but I think I'll be okay.
@Dragon Pie: No, I didn't consider that move. It does seem pretty strong though; I wish I had thought of it. Like I said, I felt rather lost about what to play, but I didn't want to sit on my move for days without figuring anything out, so I just played what I thought to be the best of the moves I considered.

is aji-keshi, as he can then respond to my cut at 'a' with 'b' and if I play 'c', he can cut me. I think it's better to play as below instead.

Due to him extending instead of haneing for his last move, I feel I have a bit of breathing room with my bottom-right group, so I'm going to start moving this stone and trying to put pressure on his other group. Here's one path I'm looking at. It's not perfect, but I can't really find anything better at the moment.

$$Bcm1
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm1I'm surprised to see this kind of assessment from Dusk Eagle. I suppose a game is always quite different from a player's perspective. I think this result is fantastic for him. If his game goes as projected (which MW will absolutely not allow)...
$$Bcm1
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm1I was surprised by MW's last move. It yields less territory and puts a stone on a point where it may have not been necessary. While it might be aji-keshi, Black can treat the triangled stones as a forcing exchange and never look back. The triangled White stone doesn't accomplish much in terms of future reduction either, as Black is very unlikely to make territory on the bottom anyway.
If Black can get away with pushing White along the fifth line as on the top, it can't be bad for him. Of course the threat of san-san at
a remains for White.
At any rate, the marked White stones are looking unhealthy in this scenario. My bet is that at this point, MW would much prefer to have played his G6 stone at
b or
c .
This is assuming a lot, however. If MW has any say in the matter, one expects the board to look QUITE different.

Did not expect that move, and I don't quite know what he's going for with it yet.
In this position, there's a timing issue involved in if and when to play 'a' as a forcing move. Right now, I don't think it's the right time, so I'll save it for now.

last exchange prevent black from peep at 'a'
since i lost the flow of the game...i need to move one step further.
my opponent has not played Q4 which i think he should do soon as possible.
this might bite his butt later because i will not answer him after i play 'b' trying to kill whole group.
