Change of plan. Instead of attacking one of White's weaknesses, I'm just going to leave them around and exploit them later.

Two particular reasons I'm backing off from my original plan:

1) I'm afraid he would just ignore :b1:

.
2) Now that White is strong in the upper left, :b3:

doesn't seem as threatening as before.

So I'm going to do the biggest remaining opening move, which is approaching the lower left corner, and I'm doing so from the widest side. All the josekis I can think of look pretty good for me:

This feels like a fine move. Depending on how he responds, I can continue as below.

If he falls back I could just invade right away. 'a' is a point I'd like to get. There may be something better than :w2:

, I'll have to think about it more if he does play this way.

I don't feel I have played a very good game so far. He feels slightly ahead to me. I must do something sooner rather than later to bridge the gap.

As planned. If I recall correctly the two main choices here are what I played and this:

but one is not supposed to mix them. Perhaps it is to reserve the possiblity of invading at the 3-3 point if White tries to split my approach and my most recent stone.

I think it is tough for White to pull out his lower middle stone, and even if he does try to I can either 1) treat it as gote and go back to urgent points elsewhere, 2) still cut it off in this case

or 3) invade in this case:

As I was writing those it occurred to me that White could try this:

which looks more promising than either of the other two moves, but I think I can still remain content to have gotten sente back.

In any case I am pretty pleased with the way that the left side is looking (especially compared to before White started the top left joseki) and feel like I have gotten reasonable compensation for White 'ruining' my provisional top and possibly saving his bottom.

Instead, I'm going to be aggressive here. This is the time when I'm aiming to pull ahead.

Enough jogging. Time to sprint!

I'll go into a more detailed analysis when I see his response.

After this, he still needs to add another move to prevent me from playing at 'a' in sente. However, it seems harder for him to find as good a place to play as he would like, as his normal move at 'b' would be touching my weak stone, and that is something he wants to avoid.

Or, he could play like this:

I can't state definitively which is better for him.

If I were to play as below instead, I would be building influence in the wrong direction.

Though both corner sequences are joseki, I think the one I plan on playing is far better in this situation.

Whoa. This move is abnormal (and I think wrong). I considered three moves here in response.

First was this move. :b8:

could also be at 'a'. However, if he plays this way, he can take sente elsewhere now. I will get 'a' and 'b' in sente, but I'd rather leave the corner with sente and so I rejected this way of play. However, it definitely seems like it would normally be very good.

If he tries to kill my group instead, he will lose the semeai by one. Note though that the normal tesuji move of :w7:

at 'a' does not work due to the corner properties.

I would have to play at :ec:

before playing 'a', and that would give him enough liberties to win the capturing race.

I also considered this move:

However, I don't like the bad aji that :b10:

along with the cutting point at :ec:

leave. To take care of this aji would require taking gote, and that is something I would rather not do right now. Again, this is sometimes playable IMO, but it's not what I want right now.

So, I will play this way instead, as it should leave me with sente.

Sorry this move is delayed, work is still crazy, and you made a move I have to think about a lot

I'll have a move this weekend but probably not before.

This is my count;
Black 29
White 24
NB because white's c5 wall lacks d6 or similar, I'm not happy calling anything there territory.

Offsetting the points a little, Black's P10 group seems the weakest group on the board, lacking any base-making potential, but for now at least seem to be happily out to the centre. The other regions of the board all seem to be hotly contested, with strength from both sides radiating towards the L17, c10 and to some extent j3 areas.

Anyway, I have some strategic and tactical thoughts on this situation.

Goals for black (who's turn it is) ; threaten to make the c5 group weak considering the aji of C6, with the goal of making a large left side, potentially blighting white's c12, which I feel was too deep. Maybe something like 1... B9 2. E9 3. F11.

Goals for white, strategically, because black is going to play something sente - I think are complex. Considering the potential cut at E15, I think white can aim at something interesting in the centre, ideally some kind of large scale roundabout attack (kill!) on the M9 group. Black will presumably make some compromises to ensure the group's life.

Pulling out N3 for white or catching it for black is an obvious massive point gote, larger than being the first to play on the top side, but I feel too slow for either side until the M10 group is resolved.

Hmm, on further reflection, I think that whatever black plays, white's cap at F10 will be an excellent next move for him.

I lied - I had to work both days this weekend and I don't have the time and mental energy to move yet. Good thing you have another Malkovich game to play! I will try to pick this up in the near future.

Hooray for 12-day work weeks :cry:

No worries. Hope you feel better soon.
