In this position, it is black's move.
Is it reasonable, in positions like these, to attack the top white corner or the bottom white corner?

Re: Basic question
I would approach the bottom because it reduces white and expands black. But either is probably OK.

Re: Basic question
I think that it is usual to approach the bottom left corner from the bottom side. E. g., F-03.
