This is a lot more painful than I'd realized. I had read black's wedge after
c , but obviously not well enough. I'm not sure there's anyway to survive an immediate wedge and cut--there may be a chance to get something on the right side, but nothing worth letting him connect and capture in the center. So that leaves: ugly shape at
b or the peep at
a . Let me rephrase: that leaves terrible shape, or the peep, with ugly shape.

$$Bcm28
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm28 I'm not going to show all the variations, but I think white simply gets nothing once Black plays 9. Thus, the peep is useless.
$$Bcm28
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm28$$Bcm38
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm38 I'm feeling slightly better, since I realized that playing
instead of
a should live. If black plays
then I'm contemplating
b instead of
a and the variations can get quite hairy, but I'll post them if/when we reach that point.
I should say: I'm happy only relative to the super-horrible results I was contemplating earlier. This is still a really really bad result.
In other exciting news, this is the first time in forever that I've not been on turn in one or the other of my Malkovich games. Yay for not feeling time pressure.

Denying connection for white. I need to keep the group weak.
My move loses some aji, though.

I become worried about my running group... The right side is also tempting... I can't anymore pursue the white group g8, so if I don't profit now, I did something wrong. Standard c7 feels timid and allows white to sacrifice two stones and connect. Connection to the left must be expensive
So I'll try to get more.

Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm36I don't understand white's last move, I would play this, Seems like B gets at least the two stones after all ?
