Up to W6 the result is very common. A search on gobase reveals that B7 is very unusual (maybe not so more recently). Indeed it invites W8, negating the influence of the low chinese formation on the right.

11-20

W18 leaves the white group unsettled and B19 does not hesitate but to attack. As so many modern games, this game goes into a fighting mode early.

At this point, the first day ends, and Black seals his move.

I can't begin to figure out what Black can do on the left--I can't even find any interesting forcing moves. --Hyperpapeterie
