:b53: doesn't prevent the connection underneath, so I have that as basically big endgame later. It's also not sente against my northern area, nor does it strongly threaten my right side group, though I will need to give it some attention at some point.

But now seems like good timing to get in this move. It's very large double sente and exposes the inefficiency of the C13 stone. If he tries to move out, I can develop the left side; if he tries to close his open skirt, I can start sealing him in.

Well, that's unfortunate. It's not a huge move, but I do need to protect to prevent from being undercut. Without defending here, I have less chance of life, so I have to defend. I'm sure there's a better defense than this, but I can't see it. Some days, I just feel brain dead.

I don't really have a specific idea on how to attack this group, but this feels like as good a spot as any. It seems like kinda a shape point for black, and a kind of a cap, so I guess I'll go with it. I'm not worried about the elephant eye - if he tries to run through there it will just help me build up on both sides. I should have sente once the attack peters out, then I will either attack the right side black group or rescue my stone at the top.

Allowing white to easily seal me in here feels wrong, so we're going to respond locally with a splitting move. I don't see any real danger to this group yet, but splitting allows me to weaken one of two groups, possibly in sente.

This is one of those 'cut first, think later' sorts of reactions.

This is standard for this shape. Lets me build up this area some while my opponent hopefully runs along dame points. It should be sente because it threatens to enclose again.

I need some time to consider my next move. Appologies if I do not get through my thoughts by the end of the day, rest assured, I am considering this next move carefully.

Black needs to learn to differentiate between "weak groups"[ and "flexible stones". He plays under the impression that he is threatening some severe attack of a group, when he is really making a slow move against a stone that the opponent can treat lightly.

I've written posts about this move 4 times, including quite a bit of analysis, and I have errased one, changed computers twice, and lost the other to someone booting me off a computer.

If anyone has any questions about my reasoning, please, do ask.

5 threatens to put more pressure on white's group, and allows me better attacks on the upper right.

I may be playing aji keshi by using up quite a bit of sente to make white's group on the right so heavy, but it strikes me as a good time for it.

A good thing to remember is, it's always best to have backup before invading. But just playing a stone floating out in the center makes it clear where you're trying to attack. If you can expand into the center by attacking another group, it's almost always a good idea to think about how that fight will affect other areas you want to attack.

I'm pretty pleased with the game so far.

This is sorta annoying, but since his right side group is not completely strong yet, I should be fine.

Thoughts:
I'm not entirely surprised that white didn't mess up the seal. It's not hard to read the badness there, but your opponent can never make an error if you never give them the chance to.

Up to white what he does next. 65 is loose pressure on white, offering to chase them around some more if they neglect their week group.

Hopefully white will run, allowing me to invade the upper side, which has been the aim of the last sequence. If white doesn't, I'll have some fun harassing the weak group, and see what I can reduce as a result.

He's got a good attack here, but he has to be careful pushing me against his weak group like this.

This group is livable, but we don't want white sealing it in. I'd like to play a hane on the attachment, but white has the wall, even if it is eyeless, to fall back to. I need to extend in order to stabilize my group. White can continue to push, but after this point, I can hane without fear of the cut.

I need to keep running, my shape is terrible. I am going to count soon, but I think I'm behind. Sorry I don't have any deeper analysis to share.
