BQM 572

   

Attacking invasion of extension from shimari. I was surprised to not find the position in the top left corner on SL. I assumed that meant white's play at 1 was flawed, but it wasn't immediately obvious to me what the best response would be. I ultimately decided to cap with 2 as "capping is never wrong" but I'm far from sure that it is right in this case. I am currently 12k per AGA. Thank you.

Andy: Cap at B2 looks good to me. W1 is going to struggle mightily and black will get good profit, probably on both the top and right. I think it was too early to play W1. Maybe something like a would have been calm development for white?
