Thanks a lot!! That sounds as a cool title for a post ;)

Thanks a lot!!

But I still haven't checked the other side of the board... see if tomorrow I have a little bit of time to check it. I'd like to make a post about "double hane" and "hane at the head of 2". Is there any recommendation you'd like to make? Thanks ;) I had already thought of the miai possibilities you mention.

I’d like to make a post about “double hane” and “hane at the head of 2″. Is there any recommendation you’d like to make?

Thanks ;)

Even after with something like Q18 to defend the cut after White s18 black will still have some bad aji there (there are interesting possibilities with n18 if B refuses to give up the p16 stones). There are alot of "hane at the head of 2" shapes for both sides which means that there are alot of potential shape issues in this corner.

I hadn't thought of black playing R18... as you can see, my reading there was not too deep. You say this would be a right place to leave for the aji cut.. ok... so you would start with the double hane and then, after defending the atari at R15, cutting at P17? Ok, Yes, definitelly, your move is better... I'll take note of this... see if I can apply it somewhere on my next games. Thanks for your help!!!

I think this is a good example of a time when it's best to leave the cut aji there, since White has 2 possible cuts (P17 and Q17), he can wait and decide which is better after seeing how his opponent responds to the double hane. While I'm not the most awake right now, it looks to me that if white goes straight to the double hane at S17, then Black must drop back with Q18 to avoid trouble.
