Question: should we put everything in "hide" tags? They're surely convenient if you want to post a whole bunch of diagrammes, to prevent clutter. But maybe there would be more interesting discussion if we don't use them for short posts. No?

As an observer, for ease of viewing I prefer the only unhidden diagrams to be the actual game.

$$c Move 8
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$c Move 8The area around "a" is now a less interesting change of direction to me, because White's corner is stable. It would be nice to get "b" aiming at "c", but White would just protect right now. As White's top stone is the only weak potential burden, it feels more urgent to me than the big point of C6. I'd play H17 because it both prevents White from getting a decent extension, and helps the top left corner develop. I'd probably play something like (for both sides):

I initially thought about this:

No reply yet? Then I'll move on. I actually don't think the position is very easy, for example, I didn't predict
myself... What should black do now?
