$$Wm18
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wm18Obs:
To double-hane or not to double-hane, that was the question.
We're still on book, so to speak: both
keima and
double-hane are pro variations.
I decided against
double-hane because even though W has a ladder break in the (a) direction,
the
(b) ponnuki (or something similar) is a bit annoying, and
(c) is sente.
Plus,
seems to be the road less traveled by.

Well, Ed is nicely underlining that O4 is
high . My instinct is to capture R6 at S6, which Kogo's agrees is joseki. White here could have played Q7 instead, giving white a ladder breaker big point and leaving P2ish as another big point. I think I am content about the played exchange for the right, but am going to put off making the move until tomorrow.

If Ed gets to play N3, I will push it into J3. Later I hope to aim at C8, but lets see what happen on top first.

Instead of the 1-space jump

I don't like
. It just takes small territory and has no presence on the rest of the board. I'd play like this

$$Wm12
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wm12So I guess White didn't like this and switched to a different joseki. The ladder breaker gives White a good move at the top, but maybe he thought Black's thickness was too much.
$$Wm18
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wm18I question this choice a little bit because normally it's to make the bottom not worth much, and White can reduce at around a later so I'm not convinced this is necessary.
$$Wm20
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wm20The top is the most open, develop-able part of the board and I see no reason not to play there. Black's move is slow.
Nein Mann, ich will noch nicht gehen, ich will noch 'n bisschen tanzen.

It's been nagging at me whether my last move was an underplay (slow) or fine. At least yesterday, I didn't like any of the following results, which today I don't have strong convictions regarding / seem fine/good.
$$Bm21

$$Bm21 I didn't like being distantly pincered either, even though (or especially) because I couldn't really find how they'd continue.

Not exactly an easy choice, between 3rd or 4th line.
For the reference variation below, I'd probably play the low
.
But in our game, B seems just
slightly thicker lower right (not sure), and there's also a ladder.
$$B
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$B
keima and 
double-hane are pro variations.
(b) ponnuki (or something similar) is a bit annoying, and 
in the game, if B had played the 1-space low pincer 
,
seems quite natural.
