This move basically is free move for opponent basically a pass.
Again this move is too slack running out to center is desperate, just take corner with turnstile jung seok.
Oof
White can't give blk any more thickness towards center. So chooses to give corner as compensation.
If feeling feisty, this maneuver keeps things interesting.
The ai thought this dragon battle worthy to execute so I felt it necessary to understand.
Wht can't let fet get swept so blocks the threat. Blk runs group to circle the group and make life, it is still a little bit of a threat but it needs the distance atm to catch its breath. White now uses the opportunity to pressure blks weak group.
This could be a sweep for the leg and at same time it gains value for poke out eye, in sente.
Attack in one location to adjust yourself to thrust somewhere else. Forcing moves are sente with this bc it's creating life and death problems if with tenuki.
Blk gets more safety by forcing this group to crawl.
Ai says taking stone is important so a tsumego problem probably exists here.
Blk asks for eye space wht says no so blk is forced to cut.
Blk threatening to kill white stays in gote.
This exchange is big for both its basically a question. Which do you think is bigger? (Take time to count)
Black got less in exchange but got sente with lfe when it was out numbered to start with.
This is far more urgent.
