Just to show that the side extension from the 4-4 is not some New Fuseki brainstorm. Somewhat surprising that it loses 12½% to par, as White does not seem to have any particularly good alternative. This is just an ordinary board.

Speculatively: Current position: 1. C12 and D5 both very big but also somewhat miai. Each is blocked by two fairly strong B groups for development so they aren't making a big side moyo. 2. On the right, R13 to shore up the light stones seems appropriate. 3. Perhaps D5 first, then R13 or something. 4. I assume Shusai defended the stones on the right, perhaps R9
Opp to play 1. D5 is my instinct. 2. R10 seems interesting.
Past: 1. Lower right means B marginally ahead
Check: 1. Shusai played there?! 2. Elf mainline for 13 is interesting, somehow getting the pincer on the left as well as a wall around D5. 3. I didn't expect the AI variation. I see B has a potential liberty shortage if W gets P4 or S5.
