My gut says there's nothing I want to play that justifies not responding here. But I will have to find a place to be more aggressive soon or the board will be too settled and I'll be too far behind.

Time to be a little looney. Because his corner isn't finished on the left, I have at least one forcing move that gives me a (very small) base.

Opex has played quite well so far. Maybe :b20: could be a bit better, but otherwise, B is doing well.

As per the freeze comment, I don't have a lot to say--I spent a lot of time looking at the position, but not a lot of time thinking through concrete variations. I did look at all of a-d, but found it tough to read more than one or two moves ahead. Even with this move, I have a hard time predicting what my opponent will play. Well, there's a weakness of mine. I can read a tsumego--not superbly, but tolerably, but I just shut down in an open-ended situation, sometimes. Disconnecting the black stones in the center is absolutely essential, but almost every move has shape problems. This has the least, and might be forcing.

No problem, I don't have much time now, so I may be slow as well. :)

Hmm, it's dangerous to mark letters on diagrams, you may give your opponent some ideas... I didn't consider b :) But still I think that I'll go with safer a. It allows me to forget about the corner for the time being (I hope I'm not missing something here). Maybe :b22: should have been one line higher...

It's hard to gain anything in a running battle like this. Both my groups are weak, his group on the left is too stable to be a target for an attack or even reduction. So I have to get twice as much done as he does to break even, and that doesn't happen that often.

After it was too late. But they don't give anything away, if Opex has even one insight because of them, it'll be one more than there was in my hide tags. :cry:

I have one weak group (yet), white has two. Run and keep them separated.

By the way, running fight is my weak spot, so any feedback and hints are more than welcome :)

This may be a silly theory, but I'd rather not give him the chance to build up his right side by playing against that group. The marked group, on the other hand, is so solid that it can't gain much. Of course, that deliberately means not strengthening the weaker group.
