At first I considered crawling down one space, but fortunately, I saw the possibility of a Knights move at "a" that would cut me off from help. If W plays at b, I will sacrifice my stones and play "c" then "d" which s sente, so I get to lean on W at "e". If White "c" then obviously B will play "b". All the lines I read seem to be safe for B.

I was torn between o4 cut and o7 peep. The cut might lead to
$$Wcm50 Captures: b - 1, w - 6.

It looks like he can't connect. So i expect him to also cut me.

Ugh! What a horrible outcome for Black. White got a lot of influence in the center and got to invade Black's moyo at the bottom. In exchange, Black got a heavy group that is yet to live. This shows that Black should have considered playing lightly with the R9 stone rather than trying to save it at any cost. After
, Black would have done better to either (1) limit himself with something like "a," reducing the value of capturing the R9 stone or (2) play somewhere else entirely (such as at the top left--"b" or "c," for instance).

He has to start looking for an opportunity to create a complicated fight where he could hope to kill something big. An unenviable task, to be sure, but one that could prove entertaining for the spectators.

The only move.
Black can't connect with this move:
$$Bcm57 I eat four stones

Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm57 I eat them this way tooAfter the cut i have two weak groups. They can run though, and can probably gain enough libs to eat black's right J group first. To be forced to eat something... brr..
Err, wait.. Why do i have to cut? If he wants to connect, maybe allow him? Fixing all my weaknesses in the process...
