As planned. The cut was too hairy. I probably need to shore up my big central thing - this is quite big and very nearly sente.

3-4 is nearly sente and quite big. (4 at provoke white b.) I think I am strong enought in the center to then probe at 5. The 6-8 replies are quite passive,so may not happen. (It would be nice if they do occur).

Next I may do my fany probe:

Capturing the stone does a lot to shore up my position, and puts pressure on the top right black group.Descent at 12 above may be an overplay - hane at 13 nearly kills.

So black may need to defend at the top right with 12.

I now get the big endgame moves on the right. I have large moves coming up at a and b.
Black's centre-top group is not 100% alive, which increases the size of the move at a.

I am behind, but if this diagram happens, I am pretty close to catching up. If I can wangel getting both a and b, I am probabaly around 10 points behind. For this stage of a 4 stone game, that is an acceptable outcome.

Removing the possibility of an eye later on, just to make him worry about his group.

As a result, my central group-string is becoming pretty strong. This in turn means that black's central group is weaker. For example,

Black seems to lack two eyes. It's unlikely to die, since it has access to the centre, but aji like this is very nice to have. It is likely to give me some profit somewhere.

Edited to add:
The lower left yose may also become entertaining for me.

If something like this happens, black collapses. SO black needs to answer the move at 3 in the first diagram differently.

This works for black. But I may be able to come up with something entertaining by changing the move order.

Did you consider any ways black might resist meekly answering your move?
@obs
I would be looking at things like this as black, as it stops a-f working. But maybe white can clamp immediately or something, it's tricky...

This kind of endgame hassling is the fun that comes from splitting groups, not playing the topological game as drmwc calls it.

I thought that splitting groups was topological. :)

I fully expect resistance. However, a lot of moves are conceivable and giving diagrams for them all was impracticable. Furthermore, it's not completely clear my move is 100% sente. Specifically, any of the moves marked at a maybe possible:

The position is complex, and certainly beyond my reading abilities! I think I avoid collapse in the lines I've looked at, but I may have overlooked something somewhere.

And his upper middle group is on the verge of getting trapped.
Sure, there are lots of unexplored branches in these last 2 diagrams, so I can't claim that it works. But it is one more way to solve the living in the middle issue.

Joaz, you may want to proofread and correct the hidden part of your post (second diagram doesn't display correctly, because ']' is missing from the end of '[/go]'-tag)

I very much doubt white will make the h16 j17 exchange as it damages the top, but just connect. If black then cuts at a then b should be sente and fixes the c weakness for now, or maybe just d atari. Then white could run out his middle group (which also pressures black's middle) or try to kill the left somehow.

Joaz's move is pretty good.

However, the continuation is unclear - I don't think white can cut. I atari, which bodges my shape, and ask questions of the centre group:

It's not clear to me where is best for me here. If I play 4 above, black still can't cut since it transposes. Black's next move is unclear - protecting on the right may be prudent. Then I can pretend to be alive everywhere and start the endgame. I could also contemplate all out war against the centre group.

If black doesn't play 5, he needs to worry about this:

If a move at a is black's sente, he can bodge against this aji by playing there first.

Seems drmwc isn't looking as hard for good black moves as he is for good white moves. Isn't this a connection:

Of course these threats are still nice as white can try to prevent that connection beforehand in sente, or if black ignores say m18 to live in the centre white gets compensation on the side.

It is Xmas time: business is real busy and will be until the 24th. I will be back in a week or two.

The position is complicated, and I don't claim to have analyzed all of the lines, but after playing with it a bit, I have come to the conclusion that a play in the upper left is double sente.
Altough I have two iffy groups, ( one in the upper left, one center ) I don't have to make a choice between them. This protects both of them.
It protects the upper left directly by getting more room, and the center can live because of the aji of the cut at G16.

So I am going to play this before he plays B17. Then I am going to take the previously announced break to read in depth.
