♫ It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake.
If the way is hazy,
You gotta do the cooking by the book.
You know you can't be lazy.
Never use a messy recipe,
The cake will end up crazy,
If you do the cooking by the book,
Then you'll have a cake.

We gotta have it made,
You know that I love cake.
Finally it's time to make a cake! ♫

With cake being a metaphor for Go, of course.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

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:

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:

$$ ---------------------------------------[/go]

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

$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . X . . . . . |
$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ ---------------------------------------[/go]

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.

I didn't play :w1: because of :b6:.

I'll go into a more detailed analysis when I see his response.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

I don't know what to do here, and I'm tired of thinking about it, so I'm going ahead with what I said originally (that the reason I shouldn't have played B4 before is so that I kept this possibility open). I'm keeping these comments minimal because if I wait until I can lay out all my thoughts completely it'll be another week.

It looks like I will live in the corner in gote but then he'll need a move to pull out his invading stone.

The other moves I considered:

This seemed to give White too much of a chance to make a base on the side.

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.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

My reading is that I live here in gote with an L+2 group, then White probably has to do something about C8.

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.

We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

Interesting; I was expecting him to play one point below that. This way I'll probably get one point more and he'll get one point fewer, but maybe it strengthens his wall enough to compensate.

:b51: and :b53: seem to be inconsistent to me. :b51: expresses a desire to develop the left side, while :b53: abandons the left side for the corner.

I think that if he blocks now I can tenuki, since the L+2 group is unconditionally alive. I'll check for tricks when and if he plays it.

If that's true then it seems like a major victory for me, since if E4 were at E3 I would have to live in gote. Perhaps White was protecting a weakness that I didn't see, but that's a lot to give up.
