I played a game on KGS today, and realized that I am really bad at living in the middle of influence. I want to fix that and get better at that.
So could someone please play
The Killing Game with me? I want to be white, and try to live.
Here is the starting board position:

Think of it as a malkovich game.

When I've played this game it has been with iron pillars rather than one point jumps in middle of the sides. I think this is also what pros used in Korea, I recall seeing Svetlana Shikshina living versus some other female pro on some baduk TV special.

Already, I feel the difficulty. I really need practice with this.
I considered hane, but I would probably atari in response:

but that is like atari on left from his wedge:

in that position, I would think it makes more sense from the right:

Downside is that, since black is strong on left, I am running out of space.

For instance, White could crosscut, aiming to sacrifice one stone or the other to build up strength.

This counter hane is also possible.

As is this one.

I managed to find some videos of pros playing this, see the following channel playlist:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy70QkF ... 67JxQR9UO9 . The first is Rui Naiwei 9p vs Park Jieun 9p in this killing game.

A difficult decision for White. The connection looks heavy.

Maybe the lighter keima would have been better.

Or even the ogeima.
