Nice sente yose by Ed.

I estimate right is bigger than top (because of the large yose Ed left). White's bottom right is big and black does not have a clear equivalent. Black's bottom and left groups should represent more points than white's bottom left. Black should gain points in the centre. White has sente.

I wonder where Ed will tenuki to. I guess he feels my top yose is small :(

I am of the opinion this (C7) yose was played too early. It's not like black was going to play reverse-sente here next or even soon, so- why should white play it ? In a timed game, you might play this early while thinking of other moves...

Though, to be fair, I was debating whether I wanted/needed this sequence soon:

Maybe Ed is going to preempt this. What other gote could this be aiming at?

My rough count: (a) ~= (b) ~= 40; (c) ~= (d); (e) ~= (f).
So I have to be careful (g) does not turn into a monster for B, so :w76:(h) seems big...?

If Ed's count is correct, then black is in good shape here. It is hard to see where white is going to get a significant increase in points, whereas black can grab big chunks with 'a' or 'b'.
White's saving grace is that 'b' is modest sente if he plays it.

White's saving grace is that 'b' is modest sente if he plays it.
