Invading shimari
It is not recommended to invade shimari before you get strong on the outside. But with a strong position in the center and in the case when the influence black gets is not going to help him much, go for an invasion.
Here's something I remember from my first go series of articles I read a quarter of a century ago.
But it is quite thin and if the surrounding is favourable, White has a possibility to cut and make a fight of it.
If 8 is an atari then white can make a ko-fight of it. Usually I consider this type of ko as an I-lose-nothing-ko, which is a very pleasant ko to fight, any compensation for the group is good.
