My opponent's latest squashes some of my plans in the lower center. It has the defect, as all keimas do, of the possibility of being split. So it makes sense for him to protect the backside of it, around 'a'. Unfortunately for me, playing 'b' is probably good enough for him.

Subequently, the general scheme that worried me was him making an approach from the upper left - something like this:

...in which black's natural growth on the upper left transforms his keima from a move with distinct advantages and disadvantages into a purely good move.

In summary, the upper left just became urgent.

If I do get sente, however, I will have to decide if any of the 'a' points are larger than this.

Not a criticism of :b4:

in the game, but this is another approach. It is difficult for White to reply on the 3-3.

I usually aproch from this side as well against 5-4 stone and I have a 4-4 stone facing it. However I usually would play at K3. I like that it impeads the dirction that the 5-4 stone wants to move in as well as working well with the 4-4 stone.

In most games I have played my opponet seems to make a shimari (right or wrong) in the corner with the 5-4 stone which then allows you to get the big point on the right side of R-10. Black seems to be able to build very big very fast.

Sadly, I can't really be too aggressive here. Playing high or around 'b' doesn't work as well, because of the distance between here and the stones below, as well as the lowness of those stones. So I'll play calmly in the corner here, and aim at something like 'a' to make points later. Notably, the shape of the black stones at the top is not bulletproof, and has some crazy attachment-type aji, which I'll have to read into later. Also, those stones are low and their mothers are ugly. So there. Does it count as trash talk if I insult stones instead of players?

My next priorities are, in alphabetical order:

If he's not going to start a bloodbath, I will. :mrgreen:

To observers:

I think that I have pushed this stage of the game about as far as I can. By 'this stage' I mean the part of the game where I can keep playing sente moves and he responds. Sooner or later he's going to conclude that as the temperature drops, he can tenuki and counterattack.

The most likely candidate is this:

I can defend with 2 as shown below, but he starts a good moyo with 3:

Or I can try to suppress the moyo with 2, but I have serious weaknesses at 'a' that I must address:

So, I have the problem of him attacking my thin position up top, and making territory while doing so. I could patch in gote, but that concedes sente to him without a fight.

I also have the keima that I would like to cut. To do this, I need a position on the back side of it.

Thus, the attachment at D13. There are several ways that it can go. ( I'll show generic diagrams illustrating the general flow. Specific move sequences are just too numerous and have too many branches. )

One possibility is him settling for territory up north, I get a deep invasion while threatening the kiema, and my group has plenty of room to run. One nice side effect of this is that I can partially settle my upper group while threatening to invade his corner.

Another posibility is that he defends the middle left, and I can get the corner, thereby saving my thin stones up to without a trite gote move:

That is the general plan, and I regard it as feasible primarily because I get all the ladders in my favor:
