I wonder if there is a way I can still use M4... Or maybe I should continue to attack his stones now... Or maybe I should deal with the bottom left more...

Hmm, I'm not so sure right now.

Seems that there has to be something tricky to do with M4... But what is it?

Maybe this shows my weakness in handicap games, but I would have definitely played some thing like F6 instead of Kirby's last move both two cut off the two white stones and make me feel safer about the eyeless black stones. Is it wrong to worry about this:

Sure, there's the push and cut at D8, but doesn't that get dangerous for black?

What does your 86 do for black? Can you think of a better move?

Again, I'm not saying that this is completely disasterous, but why not just play :b6: in the first place instead of :b4: ,because I feel like :b6: has more of an effect on white.

Well, I've been mulling it over and a few thoughts occur to me.

After white 7, black can start a fight at 8. It goes something like..

Notice how this damages White's side. Chances are, black can make life in here. If white doesn't cut..

Black makes easy life, small but definitely alive.

If white plays more cool..

10 starts a fight which black can win for 1 and 3.

White is unlikely to play in such a way to force black to make desperation life under their stones.

That's what I think, anyway.

Edit: Also, 86 At your proposed 87 allows my 88 much more in the way of teeth. Which is why I feel that perhaps splitting off the easy to save 3 white stones is not the best use of 86.

Doesn't this work if necessary? (Which is not to say that this is necessarily a good sequence strategically.)

Am I the only one that thinks that Kirby should have just let mw win the ko fight and made a couple of big moves elsewhere if white filled the ko? And that he lost a ton by letting mw just take that corner. (Even if he is able to use some of the aji to live in there.)
