I would have tenukied like this:

the three black stones on the left look useless when white plays
on the left side.
Does anyone else think that black missed this one?

If B plans to tenuki after the approach, it seems better to do it directly,
than first do the exchange of (

Suppose B tenukis directly to

Still thinking about this one. I have to keep in mind white's privilege to play the following:
$$Wcm1
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wcm1Which means that my three marked stones have potential to be attacked.
I can play a move on the right side, but the question becomes, can white's attack on my three black stones compensate for the gain I get by playing first on the right?
If so, I should consider an alternative.

I don't know if I would normally play this way, but I think it makes sense to help my group. My reasoning is rather simplistic.
1.) If I help my group, I have no other weak groups on the board.
2.) A simple continuation is like this:
$$Wcm1
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wcm1 That's something like 30 points for white in that area. I have a similar amount of points, and if white plays on the right side, I can take initiative.
Seems somewhat balanced.
He's stronger than me, so it'd probably be good to avoid having weak groups.

Locally, I preferred the cap to this as a lighter move. I feel this could quickly leave black with a heavy group that's not doing much. Globally, if black plays to build up something on the right, white's only potential at the moment is the left side, and feels a bit like putting all your eggs in one basket. For white to remove all the aji on the left would be too slow right now, so black can wait until later to play there.
