:b15: is really bad (touching a weak stone, asking to be sealed in, playing on the second line). Jumping looks much better. Passing might be better.


EDIT:
Tenuki might be even better.

Having looked at his analysis a little bit more: :o :o :o

Of all the moves he considered, Marcus picked the worst one by far...

I agree with daniel_the_smith. :w1: aims to seal in at a, but doesn't affect black's safety. Any of b, c, or tenuki is much better than d.

Yeah, :b15: is the sort of move you can make when your group is about to get tortured to death with rusty knives.

Also Marcus said something about this not being a moyo game. I think it's way too early to make that call with the marked stones on the board. They're all potential moyo starting points.

Of course, playing on the second line is a good way to ensure that *you* won't be playing a moyo game. :twisted:

Oh, and :w14: is not so hot either. Approach a strong group on a small side in gote? Seems almost any approach would be better.

I don't really buy the argument that :w14: is not hot... I think it is as hot as any of the other extensions or corner approaches, but probably not hotter. The reason is because it aims at a. a need not be played immediately, but it is rather big and also quite annoying.

Anyway, what I think is that while :w12: is not a good move, :b13: is slack. :b13: should be played at b, making the two-stone chain rather tight in liberties and not easy to manoeuvre. With :b13: at b, white doesn't have a should white plays at :w14:, and it would be a bit of a stretch to call :wc: and :w12: a sector line.

Hm. I'm sure you're right. It's just the fact that black can tenuki that makes me think the corner approaches must be more important.

Let's see if he follows my lead! ^^
Although as I know myself, I'm not taking enough advantage of his mistakes! (At least I think this is a mistake, but who knows :) )

Instead of continuing with my previous plan, I'm going to secure the lower right corner first!
If he invades now, I get a wall facing the right and hopefully an extension (I'll have to make the invasion end in sente for me). If he approaches, I will defend and just take the territory!

He's left me some aji to exploit later. Nice! Peeping now would be premature, though. Need to approach his corner.

Clearly blocking the corner is big! I played this iron pillar, because I think kicking and pincering is not appropriate here, because I don't have O4 to prevent 'a' and it also doesn't prevent the 3-3 invasion at 'b' properly!

With the iron pillar though, my corner should be safe and there are very little weaknesses for a nice, large corner!

Seems like I get to make a base on the right. Now, I finally expect an approach up top. Given the board, I think White would get the most out of approaching the top left now. I'm betting C14 is White's next move.

The rule says: Approach from the wider side, right? There is space for an extension on the right, but I don't think it is better than just taking the top:

I apologize for the delay. I played a number of games on KGS today and can't seem to think straight. I'll probably move tomorrow.

Hmmm ... this is an obvious move for White to make ... yet I did not consider it and am unprepared. That'll teach me. I've hit a bit of a roadblock in my go playing and am quickly losing focus in my real-time games. Hopefully I can relax and get my head back in the game.

I'm not sure why I hesitated so much to play this move. I guess my issue is I have no clue how to handle a counter attack from the opposite direction:

I do have a couple options, but I'm not sure how good those options are. I'm leaning towards 'b'.

Come to think of it, :w24: here would be a really early invasion. I suppose as long as I keep an eye on that weakness, there shouldn't be a problem.

It's been one hell of a week, and I'm really lacking sleep. Maybe I'm seeing something that's not really there on the board. :)

I'm going to play this peaceful. He gets the right side. I get the top. But since he played a high extension he'll need another move or I can jump in between his groups on the right. This gives me sente to approach the remaining 4-4 and feels like a good enough result.

I'm quite happy with this. White is going to have to jump in to my right side eventually. I'm strong enough there that I can severely attack whatever stones he throws that way.

:ws: is low, :wt: is high. The left side has an opening of 9 spaces, the upper side of 6.

Sorry for the long delay! I didn't have time to play Go last week.
I'm still undecided between two possible moves. I'll probably make one later tonight.

Thoughts:
The two possible moves are:

I'm not sure about the follow-up, but :b2: seems likely. The :w7: here intends to make me move out faster, but maybe it's better at 'b'. Note that the cut at 'a' doesn't work for black.
:w1: at 'a' might be good too.

The other possibility is just to approach the upper left. If he pincers me, I'll take the corner. Otherwise I'll get the left. This might be better than starting the fight on the right immediately.

Unfortunately this ends with :w10: in gote, which means he'll be able to fix the right side afterwards.

A third possibility that just crossed my mind is to take a point on the left side instead of approaching the corner and risking to be pincered. If he plays on the right, I get my approach as follow-up:

Okay, seems like this is at least a reasonable response. I'll have to see if I can chase the White stone there for fun and profit. :D
