I'm enjoying it, but I'm just one person.

It is a lot of time to post a sequence, so there may be quite a few readers who aren't speaking up. There are certainly a lot of views for the thread.

White's trying to get sente. What do you think black should do?

Hint: It's black's turn, but where abouts would you play as white if you got sente here? Don't think, use your intuition - it's faster. ;)

Maybe slow, but it prevents the squeeze.

How about in the top left? If white gets something like D14, it looks like he's (or she's) close to three sides of a box-shaped framework.
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].

So black tenukis to take a big point. Before doing anything else, it's white's right to take a bit of sente profit now. How would that go?

The diagrams below just show some bad aji. Black would have to wait for the right time to exploit it because white has various other ways to respond.

OK, here's the game record, courtesy of GoGoD. If T Mark and John don't like this, I'll remove it and get the game from another source.

Sorry about letting this thread fizzle.
