The variation topazg chose seems inferior to the one I suggested. There are five pro games (most recent one in 2008, and all five continued according to the variation I showed. Time to punish. :mrgreen:

That was careless, I should have played the atari instead of the descent like I'd meant to initially. This squeeze is very annoying:

As a result, playing here next is only perhaps 7 or so points gote, which is endgame, so I'm going to ignore it and play elsewhere instead.

Now Topazg's bottom left group looks ripe for the attacking.

I think there may be a counting mistake here, as black is not counting what white can gain with another play, which seems more than 7 points, as he can capture the stones and corner outright and threaten to take more in sente on the bottom. As Dragon Pie said, as well, white can also threaten the safety of the black group as a whole now.

Those three stones in the bottom-left corner are big because, if I take them, the neighboring three Black stones become significantly weaker. However, responding to the kakari is bigger.

If topazg gets around to play first in the bottom left, I can choose between a risk-free squeeze or a ko:

I misread - that squeeze doesn't work, and hence this is bigger than I'd thought. White has to connect first, and Black can descend, so not only is it slightly smaller in terms of points, it's also richer in eyeshape (which is concerning me with regards to the priority along the lower side). I also have a habit of realising a mistake, and abandoning areas just to find the mistake got a lot worse.I also realised that wD2 is really very sente ...

So I'm happy treating my last move as sort of kikashi. I'm quite happy for the fun that could ensue if White invades on the right now, although I consider both that and M3 really big moves to get next (partly because M3 increases the aji of moves like Q3 which I've always enjoyed in this position), so I'll try to recover this corner here and then pick a global plan off White's next move.

I'd need to win the ko a few times too many for it to be worthwhile. Moreover, if I lose the ko, my moyo on the left would get hurt (from underneath). Next, I intend to approach the top right corner, lest Black's moyo becomes too big.

Great, now this corner is secure. Let's see whether White wants to attack my Q6 stone or not.

This reverts to the standard 3-4 invasion under a 4-4 stone. topazg really seems to like his 4-4 stones. :) Anyway, living should not be too difficult, but it'd be nice to get influence toward the right side. My next move is what's going to be difficult.
