Re: White's best move in this position vs Ernst1312
Positions seems OK to me except I'd be worried about a black play on the upper side. Instead of dealing with it directly (slowest being a capture of a black stone, next adding a move connecting the stones better) I'd like to try attacking the black position on the right to build up more strength. I'd like to just kick but Black might ignore. Maybe attaching on top would require a response but it gets more complicated. Seeing this, I might go back to simply defending. A play on the 2nd line threatening to connect to one stone might get a response and help secure the top.
In this kind of position sometimes you can hane against the corner without connecting to build towards your next play. Though black is not enclosed in this game so I think it's not going to work.
