I do not see a best move here.
The three space pincer is somewhat like a wedge, so I think that the temperature of the top side has dropped.

daniel_the_smith predicted correctly on the first try - even though I don't think Q15 is bad. I also like Q14 and H17! But:
$$c Move 7

If I were black, I'd tenuki:
$$c My moves
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$c My moves... but I will not dispute the validity of a professional's move!

All THREE of you guessed correctly!
$$c Move 8

In my opinion, tenuki is questionable. Take C6 for example:
$$c Move 8
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$c Move 8Black's top-left stone is less effective due to
, and due to the strength of white's two-space extension black's two-space jump group could come under attack.
Instead, my sequence of moves is:
$$c Move 8
