On second thought, I probably won't be able to capture, but that's fine. I think
significantly depletes
influence here, and I'm positive that
can get set up pretty well on the left side because of

Is there anyone who understands this move? It makes absolutely no sense to me. But so far my opponent played calm and strong moves and he surely put some effort into
. One shouldn't underestimate his opponent that easily.
But white's O17 group isn't that happy to be tenukied from at this point. Even if it was,
doesn't threaten anything. I have strong groups that couldn't possibly come to harm if I ignored this move. As an invasion it fails too. The corner wasn't yet my territory and white is just giving me influence in gote.
Does he feel like he's losing and playing desperate moves? Does he hope to trick me somehow? Or did he just have too much coffee today and is ready to fight?
I have to play calm and solid move now and see what he's up to.

Figured I'd play here and see what I can get. Now that I think about it, this is going to be a "fun" situation! Ha ha ha ha ha, no, not really.
Oh well, I put myself in it. Looking forward to how this game progresses!

And so,
lives. I played this sequence out on an actual Go board to give myself a visual. Pretty sure that's not illegal lol. But yeah, this is exactly how I wanted it to go.
Now it's time to start thinking about extending from

I also want to mention
as a bad move. It is better to move out into the center and avoid getting sealed in.
