It took a little digging, but I like this move. I also considered a-c, but in each of these cases, P15 was the move that gave black an advantage by splitting me into two groups. So I thought I might as well take that point for myself. The results look very flexible, and I can't find a result that looks bad for W.

I really don't know what else to do. I considered the following moves. 'a' is clearly out of the question, but b-d are very complicated and depend a lot of B's choices. I decided to go with the symmetrical choice.

My first thought is to play like this. It is attractive because it weakens B's position on the top, But I don't think it is as good as it looks. L16 still has plenty of aji to exploit to make a good position somehow, and if that happens, what does White get? There is even the possibility of my top left group coming under attack. I might be able to play something like 'a' instead of 4 to weaken L16's aji.

I'll take that deal. His position on the top is not bad, but there is aji there. Also, his left side stone is a little high and silly now.

This is really the only move. I wish I could play o14, but the ladder doesn't work.
$$Bcm1
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm1 afterwards maybe 4? I think if Black ignores or answers on the outside, I can kill the corner. I Don't end up connected , but it looks playable.

Doesn't seem logical to continue with the cut, but maybe I benefit a little bit by the presence of the cutting stones. Even if I save the cutting stone, his group on top is strong, since 'a' and 'b' are miai:

I'd say that I'm still losing this game, but I'm not that far behind.
I'll try to gain some ground.
