No problem at all - I hope whatever's causing the pain resolves itself soon!

I have to just bite the bullet and recognize my loss here. I was trying something new and it turned out to be terrible. Lesson learned
If I was playing IGS game, I would probably try something crazier, but I can't afford it against topazg in malkovich game.

I saw
in pro and strong ama games recently and wanted to try it myself. I believe
was a big mistake because of white's stone @K4. If it wasn't there, my move would make much more sense. I won't try new stuff just for the sake of trying new stuff next time :-/

I chose to descend here instead of connect after all. I was contemplating the connect because of the cut threat:

Whilst the cut is interesting, it's not ultra awesome really, and I dislike the fact he can make me somewhat concerned about my situation by descending at
. I have the ladder to the top left, so he has to suck it up a little bit, but to be honest the thickness still works nicely for him:

All this sort of thing makes it tricky to get a good result in the top right, so it's hardly terrible for Black. Still, I'm pretty happy with the lower side right now.

I hope it protects C8 enough and reduces his upper left corner. I wanted to play
a or
b , but I don't know how to deal with C8 next, if he chose to play it. I expect him to approach at
a and I'll probably again try the reply at
c , this time with some support from J17.

After a lot of thoughts put into this, I'm going with my feeling and trying something new for me. Low pincer and the diagram were other possibilities in the end with
. Topazg getting sente worries me, but I still believe that it's necessary.

This looks like an overplay to me. I can't understand why he played it. He may think he's behind (no way
) or he just wants to mess with me because I'm weaker. Anyway, he has two superweak strones inside my huge influence. I need to come up with a move that attacks both of the stones at the same time and doesn't leave any unnecessary aji. Quite a challenge.
