This is the most exciting game I've watched since I saw Alakazam play the Captain. My favorite current game (that I'm not in) is still Joaz versus Sol, but this is certainly crazy-exciting.
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].

some analysis..point "a" is very very big. i wish i can get smooth flow to play that move.. but i dont see them now.
that move will put the dragon into a danger and gives me points in mutual sente which means X4. i dont wanna miss such point.
1) attacking that lonely stone and build influence.
2) goto "a" and attack...
that is my gameplan.

@Violence:

Why not approach the top right then play the other side with the favourable ladder?

I'll take that as a compliment. Sleep well.

@topazg:

If I approach the top right, I think he will iron pillar the weak stone, making him much stronger than I want him in this area. The iron pillar fixes the ladder because he has a sente peep that makes the loose ladder work. A double approach on the top right isn't very severe.

Since we're taking a break, any other questions are welcome. I'll try to explain my thought process as best as I can.

I'll ask the question I ask most often: What is your plan? What response do you expect and what are you aiming for? What do you expect the board will look like 5-10 moves from now? Are you afraid of anything?

Terr,
My plan, after he approached the top left, was to make it so that his group stayed unsettled, and allow me to attack him here at his thinness. There are many responses, I don't expect anything, mostly roll with the punches. I see mostly favorable variations here.

I'm most afraid of him outreading me. I don't think either side has done that yet.

I would never get the idea to play this myself - and I do not understand it.

What I suspect is that if Black R7 you will probably answer like this and then Black Q8 would not be sente:

Is that a reason for your move? As White I would just have played R7 - what is the advantage of your move? Thanks!

Spongebob:
My thinking is not about safety. It is simply that I'm already alive with very little aji. He's thick around here, so I should play further out. If he tries to take territory from the other direction, and I hane'd instead, he can advance one space closer. It's just a faster move, s'all.
