However, :b2: looked like it left a lot of aji in my group while really helping him in the corner. I'd rather avoid giving him what appears to be such a good move.

So instead, I'm going for the sequence below:

Now, I will have the additional cut at 'a' to target and black 'b' doesn't feel as severe on my group.

So why not play :w3: directly? Because according to DailyJoseki, pros prefer to push up with :w1: first in this pattern if they are going to be playing at :w3:. Yep, I'm doing something from pro games without fully understanding it. Great reason, I know. I do have a vague feeling of why this could be better, but it's mainly just me copying. Oh well. I'm okay with blind copying, especially if it leads to me learning something new from the experiment.

nobi looks soft. Don't think White can cut through, but maybe will strengthen P12 and leave some aji there.

Hmm, he did not cut. My head's out, which is good. He has sente, aiming for D16?

Pushing out and then playing J17 looks a bit weird for me. If change the order of playing, it's like black plays kosumi at 8, which is a bit slow, and then white bumps his head toward it with move 9. Is this good? I may be wrong, anyway.

Now, he has sente. What am I gonna do with my lonly Q11?

His last move is solid. Now, I think my move is honte. Next, I'll probably wedge in the bottom side or approach the lower-right corner.

THis becomes my gote, if he plays the normal sequence - white nobis, black two spaces jumps.
If I play two spaces jump, he plays a knight's move. I can tenuki. But I don't have any good move on board. So maybe he take sente is fine for me. See where he wants to play.

I figured he would do this or the one-space extension. Now, for me, standing up at F16 seems overconcentrated, so I'm just going to hane here, let him block at D18, and then tenuki. I'll be slightly stronger on the top than before while still maintaining sente and invasion points along the left side.

Good move.

If I block on D18, White can tenuki here and invade from somewhere near C13. Capturing White 21 is big in terms of yose but not that urgent, as White's top group is 99% alive.

If white tenuki locally, and Black gets, say D14, which goes with senreisen's moyo strategy, It's facing white's already alive group. So not that interesting.

So i decide to cap. The shape looks a bit weird though. Unless white has some good way to slide into the corner without letting black having an influence facing down, I'll be satisfied.

I didn't expect that move, but I can see why he played it. Next, I expect him to play at the 3-3 point, and I'll take sente. If he blocks directly as below, he'll leave too many peeps in the corner and I'll be able to exploit them later. He may also tenuki after my move here, at the cost of risking a lot of points in the corner.

I thought about C17 first.

D18 is not want I want. If I look at it with a difference sequence, that would be White hanes at E18, Black blocks at D18, White connects at F18, black hanes out at F16. A lot of aji left in the corner that I don't want to deal with later.

C17 gives a funny 3 kosumis shape, and if F16 weren't at F16, that may be OK. There's always a chance of White F15, and he won't mind to strengthen the kosumis.

Let's still try to get a moyo facing down. And if White attaches at C15, just give him the corner. But he would probably tenuki here I think.

Jumping into the top-left corner, while big, doesn't seem big enough yet. Jumping like below also feels too slow for a handicap game.

So, I decided to tenuki and play quickly to try to catch up to him.

I considered approaching the bottom-right stone, but if he played a pincer it would also help him develop the left side too easily. I also considered approaching the bottom-left stone, but I was afraid it would make it too easy for him to turn the left side into territory. So, I decided to wedge into the middle. I wouldn't want him getting this point (or the one above it), after all.

So because the moyo is on the left side, approach from left may be better than from right?

If he makes 3 spaces jump, kosumi-tsuke is a bad idea. so maybe i'll do either knight's move or one space jump.

I'm still wondering if he has any weakness on his right group. And what should I do with Q11

I thought that he would play one space closer to my stone. That would give him more support to invade at the circled point below.

However, he seems to have traded that for a better grip on the corner, which is fine I guess.

My goal right now is to get sente, even if it leaves my bottom group thin (this is handicap, after all), and invade the left side. We'll see if I get that, or if I even stick to that plan.

High or Low?

Finally we come to this part of the game. It all depends on how I think about White Q12 group. Is it a strong influence or a weak group to chase?

As I have no clear judge of the situation. I just play one space high jump, if he plays knight's move for a base, I'll invade immediately, if he jumps into the center. maybe i play on the right side again. I think the latter is more possible.

I'm currently behind (due to the handicap), so I must seek complications. If I get what I want, I'll strengthen my groups on both sides.

If I had just played calmly like this, :b4: would be annoying.

I also could have tenukied, but my thinness would bother me. If he had played :b28: one space lower, I would probably have tenukied though.
