Gorobei vs Blue Wyvern
Gorobei, a humble 15 kyu, awaits the first move...
You may play first, I need some of both I think to balance out.

BlueWyvern (W) vs Gorobei (B)
Black 1 - A neutral opening - I'll think about direction after White's response.
Black 3 - Still neutral - no real point in formulating a plan or reading too much into White's first move.
Black 5 - Firm up my own territory a bit: lots of interesting stuff on this board, but it's still too early to think about it.
Black 7 - I don't want to get into a complex fight here. At a was the other point I seriously considered.
Black 9 - I've been wanting to play here - it's a big open side. I want to apply pressure to one of White's proto-frameworks. Still too early to really have a plan: live on left, then consider reduction of one of the two white groups? I thought about playing one to the right, but this seems a touch too uncertain - I want a group here, not a big fight.
