this is where the fun begins
i have a target!
i wont be able to kill it obviously but i can play
get that stone enclosed and its one of my favorite games
but its not sente and i want to play the top left corner
if he ignores i will play a double enclosure
if he responds by aprroaching a star point on the right side i will respond
but right now I think this is more interesting
Lets see what happens

In general, this is not a very good shape (combination) for W:

would be better at (a) instead.

Not 100% sure I agree. It's risky, but I'd be tempted to try something like this:

emeraldemon,
I agree with you about
--
in the game and the following
kosumi are both playable for B --
it depends on what B wants.
However, if
below, then B would play
to expand the (a) areas; B can treat
lightly:
$$B

as follows then settle with
,
then as you mentioned the
group is pretty resilient and B has nothing big now:

what a vigiorous first day of play here are my thoughts
$$Wcm14 Prisoners:
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wcm14 Prisoners: a-e are possible moves i like for black, they seem like good direction for me and feel like good flow of play
although i was unsure about trying new fusekis in maklovitch games, i decided to go for it and it looks like a well organized set of stones have devloped so far, nothing looks crazy or overconcentrated yet, the simple move strategy,
the tengen radiates moyo and makes jumping out interesting, he has mapped out three areas and is probably sleeping on the next move, so all i can do now is think
no score estimator this game, so i got the score guesstimator
& i guess im leading
if i was him i would close my open skirt it the top left corner, thats my best guess for whites whites next move,
aw well i have been looking at this board all day, time to take a break
see ya around

Ok right now the game feels pretty even.
I know that I need to go on the East side somewhere but I am not confident i know the best way to go about it.
All my stones on the east side are pretty thin so my options are to play in a corner to secure a corner better or play in the middle of the east wall to force him to invade.
All my stones are on the fourth line right now so I want to play on the third line to feel a little more secure.
Below are several options I considered a and b seem the most obvious to spread my influence over the whole wall, although it leaves everything rather thin.
c secures the top corner and puts pressure on f17, i am just not sure if it is the biggest move available.
d would secure the bottom corner better making it more difficult for him to invade. and plays well with the bottom moyo

Ok here I am mainly considering too options in a and b below.
a secures the corner nicely and seems to be a large move.
b connects my stones on the east side to make a large but a little thin moyo.
I am choosing a because I think it is slightly larger but I am not too sure about that.
