My gut feel - after the fact - was to agree with Mitsun on black's previous move. But black has avoided any line that would tend to strengthen the K11 stone, even if that decreases his chance of making territory in the south/center of the board.

From that emphasis on strength over territory, I think we can conclude that black wants to attack white's center group, maybe like this: ( I'm not sure about 97 )

Actually, black might precede it with something around 'a' first.

White's potential eye space is open to the east. So I suspect some move at one of these points:

Same here. Our government considers a profit to be something special.

I'd be surprised if white doesn't hane here.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

I think that it may be time to call this one due to lack of interest. The game is getting to the point where there is very little of theoretical interest, just the picayune counting of tactical options. The pro may be able to read the 23-move sequence that gets him 5-1/2 points vs the 43-move line that gets him 5-1/3 points. But for most of us, that is either impossible or uninteresting, or both.

Regardless of whether he takes my suggestion or not, I'd like to offer a round of applause for Dfan for doing this.

I still find it interesting as well, although as an sdk, I've been more of a lurker. In the spirit of interest, I'm willing to throw myself to the wolves for some entertainment :)

My first thought was something like this, and is most likely how I'd end up playing. I think is a little better territory-wise for white, but black gets sente. So my guess is its about even.

Hane does seem to be necessary for white now. But the double hane that phrax suggested could be risky... What about this?

It's not so easy to judge, but I have the feeling black will be all right even after white moves out. So I guess the double hane is an overplay here.

I thought about the cut, but didn't think it worked well for black, although admittedly I didn't see your 9, which makes things interesting.

Of course, if that's the case, I guess this would be the follow-up, which does seem kind of slow/small for white. Maybe that's why white didn't go this way.

Ok, it's a huge risk because of the diagram below, but if White wants to up those stakes and win big ;)

EDIT: Ok, this is a bit silly really, I'd never play this way. It just looks like Black has a lot of aji in the middle, and I think White is very close to having a lot of things work in there ... if he doesn't die on the right somewhere :D

Nothing like a play in a different area to remind me of how clueless I am :)


Of course, I am confused by this a bit, doesn't this give black sente? Or is this some funny aji w/ the M2 group that I just can't see?
