I don't like the opening, especially as white. I look at the opening as an inevitable evil stage before the beautiful middle game chaos starts.
Also I need to get rid of my habit of clicking on any spoiler that I come across

My move is a pretty common response, so I'll go with that rather than trying something else. Familiarity against a superior foe is the safe way to go. However, I aim to make this a very fight oriented game later on. In one of my previous games, I chose a seemingly dangerous early invasion inside an opponent's moyo that worked out quite well. Not only did I live, I destroyed their potential territory. I'm not sure that will occur in this game due to
.
Either way, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this game progesses. Perhaps I'll learn something if I play aggressively. That's my normal tactic against stronger players. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I'll take a one space jump here. There are some ways for proceeding from here. I figure he'll one space jump from
and that's fine. If he plays somewhere else, I guess I'll rethink how to proceed from there.

Is the term for this armpit or shoulder hit? Or something like that? Oh well, I'll play it anyway. I like this shape. A lot. I think it puts
in a good situation. But again, I'm 8k for a reason, so my logic is probably flawed. Either way, I think this is a good situation for

An interesting move. I don't plat 3-4 often, so I haven't encountered it yet. Pro's don't play it either. Black looks a bit over-concentrated to me. I think there is no explicit punishment, but that the over concentration is the punishment.

b and c calmly take a bit of a base. c might be a bit thin considering the closeness of blacks stones
d tries to take away his base. But a pincer seems annoying.
I'll probably go with b or c.
