Have a nice game!

Black's pincer at C8 led to the position above. I can hear British Go Association members sing "Sanrensei, that's the way we play..." in my head. I concur that sanrensei looks like an interesting formation now.

Finding the right pincer or other continuation is the main problem now. L4 would mirror the upper side. Because of G3 and F3, a lower pincer would be a bad move. It's going to be a fourth line pincer or a cap at O5.

I chose the pincer at L4 and a standard joseki ensued. Now I'm going to have to deal with the invasion.

Now the problem is how to live. I have an idea: O7.

Problem solved.

I'm going to aim at the hane at K6 next but I'm going to have to make some preparations first.
