lovelove,
why do you reply locally, when you don't know what p8 does. did you read that there was a threat somewhere?
it's all above my head, but i try to understand.

I understand neither how the probe fixed the weakness, nor how ignoring that atari isn't a major loss in the corner.

:w2: saves the stone but white is still left with bad aji; Black can reduce further by playing a, so in terms of corner territory, there's not much difference.

Edit: I'm not saying it's a good idea to play a or that that's the best use of the aji. It's just an example.

Edit2: I'm not sure R6 isn't important as a cutting stone though...

why do you reply locally, when you don't know what p8 does. did you read that there was a threat somewhere?
it's all above my head, but i try to understand.
When I don't reply, my Q6 and R7 group are not connected, maybe he can do something with my center stones. S6 also helps isolating center white stones.
