For example, instead of at (a), if B played , then the (b) area could become big? I was worried about , but had no time to do anything about it. So I thought (a) gave me a chance to take first (as ).

I am not confident on the correct use of this cut yet.
Edit: I worked out what I was trying to say with 'a' and 'b'. If black plays @ directly and white fixes at 'a', black will be able to take the peep at 'b'. However, the proverb says: "Never peep where you can cut!" Just, the order is a bit wonky with my application .

(Feel free to disagree with )
Well, whatever comes next does seem like the only move. After which is also an only move*. atari at 86 leaves white with better shape options after . is necessary to stop white playing "driving" atari to take control of the centre.
*Probably not an only move; I somehow overlooked trying at eg. K5** until seconds after hitting "submit."
**Well, maybe not K5 specifically. There was more reading to be done, in any case; there might have been a good shortage of liberties trick against M4 group. Or maybe hane instead and allow white to M8 cut given he would probably "lose" that fight. Erg. Eh.
I am happy with the game move.

Last night I was tired yet still wanted to play, but somehow restrained myself to wait, and it was a good choice, I think. I even saw Loons on KGS and told him as much. (And found out his time zone is 19 hours ahead, almost one full day in the future! )
Back in Post #215, I considered perhaps (a) and (b) were miai:
$$ Var. 1 $$ | . . X , . . . . . , . . . . . X . X X | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O X . X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . a . . X . X X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . O X . . . X O O O | $$ | . .

O . . | $$ | . . b X . . . . . . . . . . O . . . . | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . | $$ +---------------------------------------+
[go]$$ Var. 1 $$ | . . X , . . . . . , . . . . . X . X X | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O X . X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . a . . X . X X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . O X . . .

So if , I should take :
$$B $$ | . . X , . . . . . , . . . . . X . X X | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O X . X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . 1 . . X . X X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . O X . . . X O O O | $$ | . .

Which is the same shape as in the real game -- since B can always do the exchange -- only the order was different:
$$B $$ | . . X , . . . . . , . . . . . X . X X | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O X . X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . X . . X . X X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . O X . . . X O O O | $$ | . .

O X . . . . . . . . . . O . . . . | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . | $$ +---------------------------------------+
[go]$$B $$ | . . X , . . . . . , . . . . . X . X X | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O X . X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . X . . X . X X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . O X . . . X O O O | $$ | . .

O X . . . . . . . . . . O . . . . | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . | $$ +---------------------------------------+[/go]
So if I changed my mind and captured the stone with , it means letting B take both and -- both (a) and (b) in Var. 1:
$$W $$ | . . X , . . . . . , . . . . . X . X X | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O X . X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . . Y . . X . X X O | $$ | . . . . . . . . . . O X . . . X O O O | $$ | . .

Somehow I had confused myself -- maybe still tired from Congress and other projects -- and I'm glad I took the sleep first, and the the above tewari came to me in the shower.
