As I see white has more possible area and better influence. So black really has to make use of whites weak group. How?
These are not suggestions, more like questions (I’m not happy with them): S3? P6? M4? P8?
This is typically a situation where I lose tho, so please contradict me.

G5 as a suggestion until g5 is played

S3: apply pressure on w but drive in a direction I m not so sure interesting?
P6 more the direction. Will make w very strong.
M4 almost a yose move, played between two already strong groups.
P8 for building what?

G5 still both colors would like it but seems a bit less urgent because w is better now from the right.

D14 still in the air

I propose D14 myself

D14 feels natural. Certainly G5 is more active than M4.

If P6, we continue P7 O7 etc? On phone atm or else I’d make a var. It’s a good candidate move but I think we may end up losing sente.

P6 is essential.

After 1-3, black gains the option to take away white’s base in the future (at 5).
This is possible because 7 is atari.

I agree with @Animiral that we’re not done destabilizing White. P6 is probably right, but we should also consider O6, O7 and immediate S6.

I better not have missed when we played k10.

I gotta say, K10 is looking like an interesting move all of a sudden…

S6 is more mine, I mean in my too agressive style…

Why not (8) at S6, capturing?

(7) was an atari.

It does seem though that you would just connect against the peep instead though.

I suppose it leaves a peep at 9 for 10 but I’m not even sure that’s a great exchange. Maybe its ok.

I think White has a gote (half eye) on the side. I don’t think white’s really in trouble even after playing away once

Edit: done [I’ll build the poll in few hours, if any more to say please add.]

  • D14
  • G5
  • K10
  • O6

Tactical reply. (The vote was an edit, so people weren’t notified.)

How-to? When I edited, the topic went back at the top of the list.
Well whatever, nice to take care.

Black G5 wins the poll.

Time for joining the synapses and debate on our next white move!

By the way could be interesting to check what is the democratic feeling on who is leading now

  • Black
  • White
  • Quite balanced

my why

I didn’t vote G5 but I have that feeling that the color who takes it is leading, at least for a few moves.
But maybe w will prove I am wrong.

maybe N6
War for the center of the board begins
