I must admit, I don't understand his sense of direction. I can block him on the right side, keep the 3-3 open, and keep sente. Then I can choose between fixing the ko on the right side, or dropping a stone in the bottom, which should be safe with O7 sticking out.
He always does something different thatn I expect. I figured on the solid connection.

I must admit, I thought the lower left result was good for magicwand, but this board looks crazy. It's a two handicap stone game, but to me the board is looking better for Black than a two stone start already:

I am getting happier all the time! I wasn't going to play the second peep because I thought he might not answer it. But since he offered, I accept. That stone protects the cut at a locally (black b works now), so I am very happy to get it in sente, no need to worry about ladder breakers. Now I make profit on the top while keeping up pressure, also preventing white c.

Well white didn't answer N6, so here I go. Isn't there a proverb that says that the right time to invade is one move before the moyo becomes territory? I think that's now. N4 would be ultra-safe but also ultra-gote. I want to push for the maximum.

i dont know why he is playing awkard move. i am not sure if it is good or bad... but he doesnt need to play this way.
maybe he want to distroy me and embarass me in front of all observers. what i played is a move after 3 min of thinking. i can not backdown. and i can not capture it. so i will give him life in the corner and score on the side.
this way i still have a chance of attacking and ko threat in the corner and possible development of moyo points in the middle.
