... back to the game
Ok so not feelin too good about this game anymore.
But definately not giving up.
if I try to settle now and make two eyes it becomes this i believe.

another option is to try and run out and deal with life later..seems like a bad idea
another option considered was at b to use the aji of the group to invade the corner. Seems like a big waste. Ideally I can get this group settled and divert my attention to more important places. Most likely it will lose sente, but better than death
Here is the result of my attempts at reading

OK so he is trying to build his thickness and just contain me to a small group.. makes sense
I am not quite confident with this group enough to tenuki
I expect he will play 2 after my one to give me a little more eyespace then i will consider the three moves a through d

Again my feeble attempt at reading makes me scared so I am playing to create more eyespace and saving threats for later.

My first instinct was to play the 3 3 move in the corner. However reading this showed that it did not coordinate well with the otehr stones - I am probably missing something
Next i considered a lower approach at 2 4 which felt passive and doenst look great
Then I looked at working towards the middle again but that looked weak.
Finally I settled on R4 which works with the Q6 stone where I am strongest in the area.

i have no idea what nathan is trying to do here, my best guess is he is obviously trying to make sabaki,
im going to defend here but will he be able to make life, so far i dont see a way of life coming out of this situation, and i dont think he has enough room to make life either,
hmmmn.. either way im determinded to keep my area and i can worry about killing this group after i defend.
