BQM 375

I bet white should have chosen avalanche, but that's not my point. My point is that I played on the side, making a mini-Chinese fuseki, and treated the two remaining corners as miai. Is the a reasonable strategy, or is it flawed somehow?

Anyway, responses are much appreciated! :)

Andy Pierce: I vote for "flawed", however, I think your opponent bails you out by playing into a pre-existing pincer rather than making a nice shimari with a.

Minue:

1) in your game is not mini-chinese formation. Your move, is wider extension from corner by one more line to be mini-chinese formation.

2) But, assuming that your were placed at the right point to make mini chinese formation, Yes, it's a reasonable strategy.

3) And, your bet is right. white should've chosen avalanche.
