OK, he decided to get this in earlier rather than later. I still think I have to answer, and there are no ko threats in the opening, so the solid connection it is.

Two empty triangles and counting!

Interesting. I was expecting this:

$$ -------------------
$$ | . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . 5 X 4 2 . . .
$$ | . . X O O 1 O . .
$$ | . . X O . 3 X . .
$$ | . X O X X . . . .
$$ | . . O O . . . . .
$$ | . . O . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]


This way gives Black a stronger corner (though I didn't think he needed it) at the expense of the strength of his outside stones. That's okay with me.

I think I have an advantage in the ensuing struggle. Here's one variation:

$$ | . . . X X a . . .
$$ | . . X O O b O . .

$$ | . X O X X 1 2 6 .
$$ | . . O O 7 4 5 . .
$$ | . . O . 9 8 . . .
$$ | . . . . 0 . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]

$$ ---------------------

$$ | . . X O O b O . . .
$$ | . . X O . O X X 0 ,
$$ | . X O X X X O O . .
$$ | . . O O X O X . . .
$$ | . . O 5 X O 2 . . .
$$ | . 9 7 3 O 1 . . . .
$$ | . . 8 6 4 . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . . .[/go]

and he gets a big corner while I get a big wall.

I always have to be careful about the a-b exchange, as my stones above can run out of liberties very quickly.

In for a penny, in for a pound. I couldn't find a good way to back off from this. I am a little afraid that my resulting "thickness" won't be as thick as it needs to be, but I hope to learn something finding out.

but on rechecking my variations I discovered to my dismay that Black can make the a-b exchange before playing :b9:, and then the ladder starting with :w10: doesn't work. So it's back to the drawing board.

With my move I threaten to ladder Black's two stones. If he saves them, I have time to hane and pick up the three-stone string. There's one move that tries to save both, but I think I can handle it, barely:

and no ko threat is big enough to stop me from capturing next move.

If I missed some trick of Black's, I'm probably in big trouble...

This looks much better for me. White is split into two groups and both of them are not 100% alive.

If white really wants to keep the center, he is gonna have to give up more territory to me. This trade looks good for me.

Like I said, if I missed some trick of Black's, I'm probably in big trouble. :sad:

The problem is that after this:

[go]$$Bc
$$ ---------------------
$$ | . . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . X X 1 . . . .
$$ | . . X O O 2 O 3 . .
$$ | . . X O . O X X . ,
$$ | . X O X X X O O . .
$$ | . . O O . . . . . .
$$ | . . O . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . . .[/go]

Black wins the capturing race.

I had thought that my threat against the two stones was sente, but Black doesn't care if he can capture my three and connect to his isolated stones, splitting me:

$$ ---------------------
$$ | . . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . X X 1 . . . .

$$ | . . O O . . . . . .
$$ | . . O . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . . .[/go]

Importantly, he doesn't even have to capture with a, so he can move out with :b5:, completing the split.

So I don't think I have anything better than to concede the big corner entirely and get some small amount of compensation by making a wall:

$$ ---------------------
$$ | . . . . . . . . . .

$$ | . . O O 4 2 . . . .
$$ | . . O . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . . .
$$ | . . . . . . . . . .[/go]


This is obviously a big loss, but at least I have a wall (though it is open at the bottom) and sente. I'm clearly well behind, though.

Wow he is giving up a lot of points...he does get sente which is kinda big, but I still think locally the result is good for me

It now occurs to me that this may not even be sente (there's no life or death at stake, just points). But it does threaten a capture worth 14 points that is basically sente itself (else I squeeze with J16 and J17).

I am gonna take because it makes my group super strong. If he dares to hane at J16, I will cut.

I have to try to make all of my stones work together. I'm clearly behind, so I'm making an ambitious move. I would like to hane at the top, but I think Black would just ignore it; even if I then curl around and atari, and then capture two stones to get connected, I've spent three gote moves. I don't think I can afford to do that.

If I push the white stone now, I may not get the result I want since white urgently needs to build the center.

Even though white is forming a double wing, taking the 3-3 doesn't look good.

I could consider approaching from this side and then attacking the one white stone, but my base is too narrow, I don't like it.

If I approach from this side and get kicked, I can have a more efficient base. White's bottom isn't gonna make a lot of points because I can undercut the 4th line stones. I can even attack the marked group later.

I guess this game isn't very interesting, given that no spectators have made any comments yet. :(

Use thickness to attack! I still probably shouldn't be too happy about recent developments, but at least this continuation fits my narrative, and all of my stones have a meaning.

Going to the corner looks bad, especially when the marked stone is on the 4th line...White can just keep pushing and completely seal me in.

I wonder if a higher pincer would have worked better here, and left Black fewer options to prioritize the outside.

But this variation looks like it might lead to White being a bit over-concentrated?

How come this is using thickness to attack? I don't understand. To me, this would be more like using thickness to attack:

If black makes a too long extension with 37, white would comfortably invade in between, so white would get more.

I don't like this white move. The problem with it is that it invites the black response at c16, leaving white in a position where his head is bumped. This also creates the possibility for the uncomfortable "bear hug" that takes place later when b plays d18.

Edit: unhiding this as it has no effect on the game.
