I feel black coming out at P11 is very powerful... And white is jumping without a base ?

Maybe B can do even better than just nobi (at :w2:), with a jump to :b1:--
W cannot wedge at :w2: because this result is a disaster for W (hugely broken shape for W):

Fine by me, I may get to play there later, which is great, as it was sente for Black (and joseki, AFAIK, for that reason). Still, the fact he hasn't got the bend is useful, as I want to play this. Is it overplay? Bah, probably, but it unsettles his group nicely - I may get to make a base on the side in sente, and then play at the bottom. I strongly considered playing on the bottom first, but I didn't like this:

It's also probably fine, and actually, doesn't really look that bad, but this right hand side situation looks like a now a never, and I'm curious to see how it will go. As I'm alive in the corner, I can treat those two stones pretty lightly.


Hooray!


jts wrote:@topazg and kirby,

Why do you like that :w18:? It would never have occurred to me to play like that... it looks like a hugely broken shape.


I think it's a sharp move; I don't know why, but it just feels right.

It might be slightly greedy, but I would probably play this way in a game. I'm greedy.

Ok, that makes more sense than the extension I think, although it does also have more aji. I'm going to jump again as staying ahead of Black is quite important. We'll see how I feel about things after that probe.

i cant let topazg take control like this, i have to be confident this group will live or connect, i still have a to cause some havoc later on though if i really need to, but i'd rather not play there unless i really need to.

im not worried about the cut because i will then push out and still get the right hand side of the board.

there can be a ko with a throw in at b, but does he really want it right now? i have less threats because i have a weak group, but if i win the ko i virtually gain nothing since my wall faces his stones...
so i can't play this ko...yet

I don't like this exchange :/. There was a lot of aji in the marked stone which disappeared after :b2: . :w1: doesn't guarantee a base either, where Black can slide under with 'a'. Even a Black move at 'b' would make me feel uncomfortable as W. Not only is it a soft spot on White's group, but it helps expand the bottom for Black.

That last move may have been an error, as I lost the chance to live in the corner. Still, Black's profit isn't large, and it has helped secure my group. This pincer is aimed to prevent Black from developing the bottom, and as the following ladder breaker:

So, in retrospect, would you consider playing a different probe against bottom right? How would black have responded to Q6 if you hadn't played that probe?

Cool dual-purpose move, by the way.

@Stalkor
Hey, how's it going? If you'll forgive a quite fluffy and perhaps too early question, what kind of middle game are you aiming for?
