Yeah, it's strangely non-symmetrical, but this is actually really hard for Black to play. There are so many odd liberty fights that crop up here. My immediate reaction to :w4: was "has to be overplay", but playing on both sides of it Black has been the one suffering for me

Maybe :w4: is an overplay, but :b9: looks like one to me. :)

I'm fairly convinced it is, I found it out the hard way, and have had two people try it to me with similar misery for Black.
