Alex Weldon: Without much reading, just a bit of instinct, I'd say this for
is worth thinking about, at least. I didn't like your move
in the corner,since it gives me a fair amount of territory and doesn't really settle your group (you took sente, so you still only have a half-eye; I can remove it in gote later, if need be). Of course, I suppose you were expecting me to hane the other way and let you draw back...
