Have a good game, you two. Fwiffo, I've been particularly hoping to see another game by you, as your comments tend to be particularly instructive and you are strong in some areas where I'm hopeless.

The high response to the high approach is normal, but I don't really like it here. I'm not crazy about leaving open both M3 and M17. So, I think the low response gives white fewer options. Now I just have to consider how to deal with the upcoming cap on my Q10 stone.

I'm not sure yet if this is the best plan, but I think I should try to come out on this side. It's the smaller gap in White's formation, and the smaller the gap, the better it is to push through it. It also makes my previous two moves make the most sense.

When hiking in bear country, it's a good idea to wear small bells and make noise as you walk so that bears hear you coming. Bears may attack if startled.

...stop me if you've heard this one before...

Fwiffo: Are you referencing what I think you're referencing? Does a bear get knocked out and served for dinner?

I'll post a move later tonight.

Magicwand plays fast, but I will not get sucked in to that game.

I recognize this shape, and remember this sequence for moving out. It's an example of a "good" empty triangle. but maybe not good in this context. I think it's more appropriate if I was really pinned in. And I think it might fall down tactically here. But it does split white and those two white stones are in some trouble.

Attaching was my initial thought, but I don't like black's position after :w4:

. Do I then attach at a to push through?

Maybe I should just use the open space to the north. Perhaps pushing through here is trying to do too much. I don't want to psyche myself out though. How would I play if Magicwand were a 5 kyu?
