His tenuki has got to be a mistake. I've gotta make him pay for that. I've gotta read it out first, though.

I am one angry bird.

Come to think of it, this is an interesting problem. It seems like I should be able to punish white on the side. But I must read this out and guarantee either a good result, or a tenuki of my own...

Challenge accepted.

Grr, just lost a post through some mysterious inner working of my internets.

Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing how Kirby handles this; evidently I don't know what to do when my opponent diligently tenukis my moves.

My marked stones are now strong instead of rather weak, which indirectly helps my weak right stones. My tenuki was the biggest clear-cut points move on the board. If I had to pick what my biggest regret I've left was, it was not playing the abcde exchange. I do have to settle two weak groups now. It will be interesting to see how Kirby corrects his central thinness without also fixing my groups. I do suspect, judging by previous moves that Kirby is going to react over-violently. We'll see how it goes.

Edit: It has become obvious to me that E8 area is now a crucial reduction (or thereabouts for black expansion). I sure hope Kirby plays something I can tenuki easily.
