Two things wrong with this diagram. One is that
is misplaced. The other is that
should just be the capture of a single white stone to prevent a play at a for white (Or forcing black to patch it up).

Truthfully, I don't think that black is too bad just yet. I mean, I think that his stones still have some good aji and he took some corner territory.
I mean, I think that the push was a mistake, but not too costly of a mistake.

Such a good family separated
$$Bcm17 Prisoner Count: B-0 W-1

Top of my head, after white connects, I'd like to play around (a) and see if I can develop the bottom or take another corner, but (b) seems important too. If white pincer (a) I'd certainly enter at the 3-3 point this time, and white would get sente to play (b). I have an uneasy feeling that things may develop badly for me if it happens. If I play (b) myself, however, it seems to have little potential and I don't have any idea how to continue. All other star points seem unattractive to me at this time. Enclosing the lower right corner makes little sense.
I wonder what white'd do here if I passed?
This incoherent rambling represents my thoughts during real game btw, which is why I tend to do badly in the fuseki stage. Too many choices, too many unknowns.

levanez,

W-1 is correct, but I also find it very confusing,
so I like the notation
to make it clear that a
stone is captured.

Maybe compare.
$$Wc

I was thinking of 2 options, my first one was pincer again.
$$Bcm27 Prisoner Count: B-0 W-1
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm27 Prisoner Count: B-0 W-1
But like this, that means another corner for b, and my influence seems a bit hard to use, because of the 5-4 stone on the other side.
I also thought about this:
$$Bcm25 Prisoner Count: B-0 W-1
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm25 Prisoner Count: B-0 W-1
but now black probably plays C6, and I dont want him to get strong on the left side, because F18 cuts my wall off and sends it flying.
Next, b will probably play k4. I dont really want to play q3 yet, but maybe (w q3 b o3 looks nasty). Maybe i'll play around r10 first, splitting the side is always good.. I'll have to think about that.

W splits the side!

I think this is the most logical move, I was also thinking of going into the corner (q3), but I dont really like the results there (yet?). I think splitting the side first is better.

That's a move I didn't expect, I was waiting for an approach move either on the top or bottom. Banaan, give me some time to think on this. Since I won't be home til later tonight and Monday's looking to be quite busy, it may take me a while to come up with a response. But rest assured I won't forget our game
