Well, I am impressed, myself. :lol: My first thought was the shoulder blow at a. But now I like the 3d line wedge. I think that White has the lead, and I think that the wedge is easy for White to handle. I anticipate :b37: and then the jump to the center for :w38:. But maybe the extension to b is OK, too. :)
This knight move extension cum pincer is a move I have learnt from bots.

Heh, the opponent's good point, again.
A good system naturally covers all corner cases without further effort.
