(;B[qd]C[I was trying to be fancy here :)

I thought that your two stones would be weak enough without a base in the corner that I could attack them profitably, but that thrust through Q15 left a lot of cutting points :/];W[pe];B[oe];W[qf]

(;B[cl]C[Probably too small. Seeing as you never followed up to this, I can see now that this was way too small!

Actually, I wonder if the same was true for most of the earlier plays, that you should have been playing in your invasion this entire time.

By this point I had assumed that it was dead ... but I probably should have invested a move to make sure!];W[gp];B[fp];W[io];B[ko];W[kr];B[gr];W[hr];B[ir];W[is]
