Another point: if White can in this way get the black top side group on the run, could it be possible to engineer a splitting attack with the black group in the upper right? dnerra: I think this is a worthwile alternative. First, let's have a look at the aji:
(Now Black can connect at a - otherwise, he shouldn't play at
The problem with your sequence is that the white group is weak, too. Hence the deep attack at
unkx80: Surely you will need to quantify the aji with an extra white stone in the region of a, else the result is shortage of liberties.
dnerra: Thx, I had overlooked the descent tesuji at DJ: Of course I didn't mean to exploit the aji right away. But Black should be careful about the appearance of white stones where unkx80 indicated. I believe also that the eji? could be useful for the yose.
unkx80: Back to the real topic. In your diagram "VER, My idea" above, I also say that
My question is, how would you respond to a simple and natural move like
