Yeah, it's strangely non-symmetrical, but this is actually really hard for Black to play. There are so many odd liberty fights that crop up here. My immediate reaction to was "has to be overplay", but playing on both sides of it Black has been the one suffering for me

Maybe is an overplay, but looks like one to me.

I'm fairly convinced it is, I found it out the hard way, and have had two people try it to me with similar misery for Black.
