[Diagram]
Daniel-Suttle; Black to play

Initial position.


[Diagram]
Black forces White

Black 1 here is very good. White has no choice about answering at 2; and Black can continue to attack the white stones on the right.



The question is, how?

[Diagram]
Local sequence

This is Black's natural local sequence.



[Diagram]
Correct direction

After playing the marked exchange, Black should shut off the lower side before pressing the attack. Black 1 and 3 here are good. Black at a is also good.


[Diagram]
The actual game

In the game Black attacked as shown here; but White 2 was a good answer.



[Diagram]
Less favourable direction

There is a problem about attacking with Black 1 here. It will induce White to play at a, or b. The black framework at the top has defects.
