I don't like doing triggers. They precondition you to play a certain way.

Have you tried counting the board at all? I'm curious to know what you think of the current board position. Given your statement above, where do you think White is going wrong with his latest handful of moves? What would you do different?

Woops, idk how you quote things without seeing both hidden comments. My bad.... Red should be able to read that since I took an accidental glance.

Not to worry, I did not talk about future moves, just my own feel of the current position.

While I'm not so keen on the invasion White played, I think the salvage wasn't all that bad, giving influence and threatening to cut off 14 or so more points up top. That's not small at all, if White swallows those stones.

Blacks comments seem to me to give the impression that he's not quite aware of how BIG White's upper left really is.

Don't get me wrong, I think that White has some work to do ... I just think Black is underestimating White's profit so far.

I think he's underestimating White's profit too, but I also think the top right was a White disaster. None of that thickness / influence he's got is that useful, and there's still huge local aji left around the M14 cut. White's given Black a big corner, and done nothing to prevent the framework on the right. What's more, his latest invasion can be treated as gote:
