Observers:

Some quick points on my last move. Ed chose what I'd have chosen, because the common line seems, frankly, pretty good for White:

But with the "a" and "b" aji for White, I'm just a bit flat, and he's already got a doorway to 4th line development at the top. He does have an open skirt in the top middle, but I think it gives White good potential to use his thickness. So, why my move?

It's a pretty common fighting technique at pro level (although my understanding of what to do with it may be poor), but basically White can't easily push and cut:

The marked Black stone is a key reason for me picking this line. This is generally a good line for Black anyway (I think White pushing is a mistake here because it damages the top so badly), but the fact I'm secure on the right makes it hard for White to handle his R14 stone so easily. It also gives me some leeway to hold the corner, which is important to me. Some alternatives for White:

This was played in a fairly recent title match I think, and here White got his compensation on the right as the marked stone wasn't there - so, I don't think White can play like this here as he gets nothing much. The following is an alternative I've seen comments on by Hwang In-Seong, so I assume this is playable

In the game in question, he recommended :b57: at Black's marked stone, but as I already have one there I assume I can play here instead. Interesting fight anyway. Also planning on variations that aim at "a".

Either way, I think this may prevent White from getting what he wants. If he decides to sacrifice:

Now I'm happy just accepting an open skirt to push the top, and have lots of points in the corner and edge. I think this would be an acceptance from White that his approach was the wrong one. Assuming he doesn't feel that way, let's have a fight :)

Other points I care about:

"a" looks awesome now he's chosen not to protect the corner. "b" I consider sort of miai depending on what happens in the top right, "c" is just big gote, and the "d" area I'll want to use at some point to milk the remaining aji there.

for obs:

atari is the only move black can make without losing point.
always atari at this shape.

Next, :b49: at (b) seems forced; many variations to follow, perhaps more than :w48: at (a) or (b).

:w48: is not a good choice.
During the game, I learned about this :w1: kosumi in a 2003 pro game, and my idea was to follow up with :w3::

I rejected it, partly because I did not know how to evaluate the situation.
Turned out, this was a good idea. Another line I gave up:

Again, because I did not know how to evaluate it. It was also better than the game.
So I threw away two better ideas. :-?

Many variations starting with :b47: ; have to take it one move at a time.

Lots of odd looking variations can happen here, but I must keep White separated. He can't easily stop me from keeping him separated fortunately:

My plan at the lower left has changed, as the contact play I was looking at seems pretty awkward if he hanes on the outside. Currently looking at:

A bit unexpected. I was ready for :b2: hane instead, which can follow-up with an atari at (a) or (b):

This may be significant in the (messy) fight ahead.
I had been reading the many variations starting from the W (c) push, W (d) hane, and W (e) at 3-3, all given :b2: hane.
Back to more reading... :study:
