I know, I'm feeling guilty already :(

If only y'all weren't such addictive people to hang around with!

Actually, I'm changing my mind. Q15.

I do not see a best move here.

The three space pincer is somewhat like a wedge, so I think that the temperature of the top side has dropped.

Since the potential of the :bc: stone is limited on the top side, I am inclined to develop it on the left side. :)

daniel_the_smith predicted correctly on the first try - even though I don't think Q15 is bad. I also like Q14 and H17! But:

Hm. I guess R14. No, R13. Let's see if the trend continues! :)

I think white needs to help r16, so r13 looks natural. The first place my eye went however was p16, but l17 looks too far away to try to link up now.

R13, the two-space extension, seems like the most natural move here.

By the way, do you think it's feasible to cut at P15 instead? Or are we afraid of the influence of black's two 4-4 stones?

I think a tenuki is in order now. I think C6 is where I'd play. D10 is second on my list, and I'd think about F17-- I don't think it' a good move but it intrigues me.

C6 for me. Let W make the next move in the top right. And just to be persnickety didn't I get the first move right too? Or was it to fuzzy for a real call?

In my opinion, tenuki is questionable. Take C6 for example:

Black's top-left stone is less effective due to :w4:, and due to the strength of white's two-space extension black's two-space jump group could come under attack.
