I'm pretty sure that one of these is if not best then at least a very good choice. But which to choose?

a: extends and attacks but beckons invasion
b, e: claims corner while preparing an attack on the lone white stone
c: pretty much captures the white stone and connects the two black groups
d: natural extension from both corners
f, h: pincers the white stone while preparing to extend and pincer the other
g: splits the left side
i: deepends the right side while attacking the two white stones
j: a more peaceful extension preparing for a

My gut feel is that those 3 stones in the upper right need to be a little stronger. I'd put the two marked points at the top of my short list of candidates.

I decided to go with my first instinct. I don't wont my top-right group to become a target, I believe this takes care of that. There probably are bigger points on the board, and this may not be urgent, but I prefer to play safe here. (Also I couldn't really decide what would be best if I played elsewhere)

I think that this is an important spot in this shape. I'll try to get as much benefit as I can in the local area.

Where :b5: & :w6: reversed is normally being tricked.

I feel white's game result is too good. Perhaps one of Joaz' moves would have been a sufficient recovery.

Relying on my previous read.

He got a big corner and I got absolute safety and more or less secure territory on the side. I might have done better, but I'm not dissatisfied. I suspect he will play on the top next. Then I will have to decide, several of the points in my earlier post are still interesting. Perhaps deepening the right side.

I think this is what Magicwand means by "flow". I can't let him push me around. I need to do the pushing if I am under a 4 stone handicap.

I think I must answer, otherwise by group will soon be in trouble.

If he plays around D10, I will continue on lower right. If not, I will decide when I see what he does.

So far I'm reasonably happy. The game has developed peacefully, which is fine by me, since I don't really like complex fights against stronger players.
