But maybe it's too soon to exploit my weakness. I could also see him playing something like this:

Either way, I'm sure he has an upcoming attack on my weak group in the center:

At least that's what I'd do.

He should be able to generate points from this. My task must be to, of course, live... And also, I must make sure that he doesn't get too many points when he executes his attack. I feel comfortable on the left side of the board. I feel ahead on points if we count only the left half of this board, actually.

But the real question is, how many points can he get on the rest of the board by attacking my group?
