I took leichtlöslich's choice, but after re-checking, it was hidden, so maybe not meant to be an actual offer.

Apart from the button you needed to click to actually see my post, there were other subtle hints.
Like "my first instinct" written above and "seems vulgar" written below the diagram.

And in case anyone is wondering: My post hasn't been edited. The diagram was in hide-tags the whole time.

What's up? Any dan with an answer for black or is white already so lost that it makes no sense?

Double hane. I am on my phone, so I cannot post a diagram. (Assuming I am the correct main line, of course!)

you may as well have written a trigger for that. Obviously black connects.

Do you know how it is short before you feel something was wrong with the food? Same feeling for me here^^. On the up side my stones on the right side are roughly connected and Black's lower moyo still has some holes.

I think :w12: makes :w10: look foolish.
And :w14: provides impetus for a splitting attack against R10.

Well, IMX most amateurs do not play this way, so it is unfamiliar. Also, light play always contains an offer of a sacrifice (at least one). It is often incorrect, especially early in the game, to accept the offer. If possible it is better to up the ante, to attack on a larger scale than the offer, so that the light stones become heavy, because the sacrifice becomes too big. drmwc's double hane is a good example of upping the ante. :)

This is calm, aims at cutting at a, strenthens the corner and builds a moyo. But it's far too calm for me!

This move connects all black's bits, leaves a giant cut at a, and give white shape issues on the outside. I prefer it to either of the ataris. For example, suppose whit connects one of his bits:

Black is around 150 points ahead. So white doesn't have time to connect at 2, and needs to play on the other side.

However, the choice of move is difficult. Many moves leave white heavy. So I think black is way ahead here.

Play to make the light stones heavy. Object lesson. :)

As u can see White continues to move like a butterfly, just creating opportunities, waiting to sting into Black's moyo or to tenuki big. Tygem's SE, that I consider a better estimator, says White leads with 6.5.

I don't know... I see the potential for weak white groups while black has been making territory. While black may want to handle the :b3: and :b5: stones now, the O13 attachment looks nice to carve off a weak white group, and there's a reason most people don't shoulder hit 4th line stones on a regular basis. If black just does something simple like N5, white's connection to the two M8 stones is also quite tenuous.

The butterfly is stalking its prey, a Bengal tiger, from a distance, biding its time.
Unaware of the pursuit by this beautiful, but deadly predator, the tiger hasn't yet noticed the sword of Damocles dangling over its striped head. And it is only a matter of time until the two-winged menace will make its move..

A little boy caught a butterfly,
and said to himself,
"I must try
to understand
my life and help others.
Not just mothers and fathers,
but friends,
strangers, too,
with eyes of blue and lips
full red and round."

But the butterfly
didn't make a sound.
For he had turned
into a caterpillar,
by and by.

Ok, before the next dan comes up with a move for Black, see this and how a strong KGS-1k can be screwed by my havoc-style :P.
