Life In 19x19

Hi,

Today I had an intresting game I want to share with you and hear your opinion on it. I won by time and my continuation suggests a win by half a point, but I guess that result can change very quickly Here it is:

Hi C,

N17 big or small ?

P18 ?

R2 also joseki ?

Do you mean P18? C18 for looks quite strange(?).

N17 is big, but I think a corner approaching/defending move is a bit bigger

C18 looks weird Assuming you meant P18, it looks intresting and I have to admit that I didn't thought about it. The devoloping fight looks complex, I would read it like this:

Seems playable since W has to worry about the triangled group as well.

That would be joseki as well, and actually is the normal response to R2 while is normally answered at R3. I chose this joseki because I wanted Q6 to have a bit more potential for a later invasion

For , I meant P18(?). Typo, sorry.
