Question: should we put everything in "hide" tags? They're surely convenient if you want to post a whole bunch of diagrammes, to prevent clutter. But maybe there would be more interesting discussion if we don't use them for short posts. No?

As an observer, for ease of viewing I prefer the only unhidden diagrams to be the actual game.

The area around "a" is now a less interesting change of direction to me, because White's corner is stable. It would be nice to get "b" aiming at "c", but White would just protect right now. As White's top stone is the only weak potential burden, it feels more urgent to me than the big point of C6. I'd play H17 because it both prevents White from getting a decent extension, and helps the top left corner develop. I'd probably play something like (for both sides):

After :b7:, :b9: or "a" is consistent. I prefer :b9:, to work with the :bc: stone, and it is the modern style. :)

, but with the white stone far away and low, it seems hard to use the wall. But maybe that sequence is actually good when white's stone is high? As in:

No reply yet? Then I'll move on. I actually don't think the position is very easy, for example, I didn't predict :w10: myself... What should black do now?

DE's :b3: seems forcing, but doesn't it strengthen w's hold on the corner?

I personally wouldn't play the :b3: - :w4: exchange in DE's sequence.
