I think that Magicwand's plan is to get me to try to save my stone in the bottom right. I used to have some aji to work with, and now he took it away. Before, I had some potential for future moves around the following points:

With the move he played, he can put himself into safety pretty easily when trouble comes along:

It's not a forced sequence, but I think that his move takes away from a lot of potential that I have in the area. So I could be inclined to answer it... But, that puts me into some potential danger when white plays the following move:

It becomes a kind of kill or be killed scenario. It's true that I can make a ko for another eye at "a" in the diagram above, but it is kind of risky.

So, I definitely don't think that I should tenuki. I should try to make a solid eye. Now the question is, why did I chose the move that I did?

First of all, I should have an eye, no matter what white tries. Just as a basic example:

O . . . . | $$ ---------------------------------------[/go]

Second of all, I should be able to get sente out of this, since it threatens the cut against the group that he didn't protect earlier (the marked stones above).

I think I've read things out. Hopefully, he can't try anything more tricky. His recent moves have been a bit unexpected, so I hope he's not thinking of something I'm not...

You know what? E2 was a really bad move. I really wish I hadn't played it.
