Hi Hrab,
Welcome back.
Your move is not small, but I'd also consider Q15 ( or Q16 in your var ).
For your list, you may want to add "Any weak groups ?"
"Do I have any weak groups?", which may help you notice your
stone.
You let
take a big shared point.
You missed two questions here: "Any weak groups?" and "Big points?"
Q14 cross-cut is a local tesuji.
In both your
vars here, you lost sight of which is the weak group, which stones are important and which stones aren't.
The two M18
stones are not the focus; your corner group is.
After your Q16 tiger's mouth, and
blocks at P16,
you want to read if you can capture the R14
stone.
For me, I'd put "Any weak groups" as very high priority.
Two items on your list -- "connected?" and "shape?" --
are to me
follow-up questions to "Any
weakness ?"
Your comment here, "better attack the keima", is also strange:
it is Black who is under attack here ( because you let W take Q15 first );
Black is not in a position to attack; Black just wants to minimize the damage, and settle the corner stones.
In both
vars, the
N16 ladder is not right --
you have to take care of your corner group.
If you wedge at o17, who wins the capture race ?
Does the N18
group live or die ?
So far --
,
,
-- missed the question "Any weak groups?"
Very bad. Let's go through the list again, "Any weak groups?"
If you're not sure about the life-and-death of your corner if W peeps at S18,
then you need to read the corner situation.
( Re: "How's your shape?" )
If you're not sure of your corner's status,
you could've simply connected on
with N18.
So on
, you missed these questions:
"Any weak groups", "Am I connected?", and "How's my shape?"
(
-
) This exchange makes bad shape for Black --
( Re: "How's my shape?" )
If you want to spend a move in the corner,
you'd rather play S18 directly and live 100%.
Your corner already alive, so this was bad.
If you still want to add a move here, S18.
( Re: "How's my shape ( eye shape ) ?" )
S18 makes the two eyes very clear.
Recap, up to
-- the main questions missed:
"Any
weakness ?" ( re: Life-and-death, cuts, etc. ) and
"How's my shape?" ( re: basic shapes )
cuts:
