GN[Study Group Game 2]PW[Nick]PB[Elyse]WR[9k]BR[23k]DT[2014-05-21]C[This was the second game. It is also interesting in its own way, but it clearly shows that this 23 kyu still has a lot to learn.

The first 9 moves are the same as before.]PL[B]

;B[oe]C[Same opening so far. I was sort of sad they just repeated themselves like this.]
;W[pj]C[White corrects his mistake - we had just reviewed the previous game and I told him this move was important given the black stone at P15.]
;B[ph]C[Black dives in immediately. I think this is playable. The result is interesting.]
;W[og]C[This move was not very good. Had black drawn out her stone white would be split.]
;B[ng]C[But black helped white to kill the stone.]
;W[oh]
;B[oi]C[This move wasn't that great.]
;W[pi]
;B[nh]C[I felt that this was the only follow up to the previous moves. Black is now looking to make something impressive on the top side again.]
;W[ni]C[White ataris. This is not a ladder.]
(;B[oj]C[Black comes out, which I don't like. It seems hard for black to fight here.]
;W[mi]C[I felt this was the only move. It now threatens the ladder.]
;B[pk]C[Sadly this does not break the ladder.]
;W[ok]C[Farewell black stones.]
;B[of]
(;W[pg]C[I didn't like that white defends like this. I think he should take.]
;B[mh]LB[lh:A]C[Power triangle FTW. 

This move was one point away from being great. It should be at A. Instead it is very sad.]
;W[li]C[That move did break the ladder, however. So it's worth sente. White defends like this.]
;B[rf]C[I did not like this exchange overall, but both players apparently felt everything here was sente.

Black said she was interested in taking away white's territory on the right, so I think this move is accepatable. It also does prevent white from pushing to Q15. There is some value in that. Overall, I think black came out ahead here.]
;W[rg]C[I think this first defense is acceptable by white. There is a lot to be lost if black gets another move.]
;B[re]C[This is too slow. I think black should definately tenuki from here.]
(;W[qh]C[White did not need to capture, but he thought he did.]
;B[kh]C[Now this move looks good. It's just sad that the poor shape costs black a liberty.]
;W[lh]
;B[lg]
;W[pe]LB[kg:A]C[White pokes here first. I think he should cut at A for now to see what black will do.]
(;B[qd]C[Black sadly defends like this]
;W[ki]C[I think this was a mistake. It gives black another chance to fix her cutting point.]
(;B[jh]C[She does not take that chance.]
;W[nf]
;B[me]C[Then this mistake was game losing. Black did not recognize this was atari.]
(;W[mg]C[White captures immediately. Black has problems.]
(;B[mf]C[This is not the way to fix said problems.]

;B[ld]C[At this point I called the game again. 

It was getting close to time to leave and white has so many good options that the situation is clearly a failure for black. Not quite the showing she had for her first game. Still, she only needs to fix a few moves.])
(;B[nd]C[You could try to sacrifice two more stones to keep white contained.]
;W[od]
;B[oc]TR[nc][pc][md][lf][kg]C[But this just creates so many more cutting points...]))
(;B[ne]C[I think black should just play here and take the huge corner. Yes, the atari at L14 is quite painful, but at least black has her points.]))
(;W[ne]C[Still, I think white should take this atari first and not assume black won't fix here.]

;W[je]C[From this point white has many options for how to attack the 4 stones if black doesn't just give them up. I don't see how black wins this game, even with the 30 point corner. White has at least that much in sure cash when you add komi. Plus he has way more potential than black.]))
(;B[mf]C[Now I'd say fix like this since there is less weakness in the P16 cut.]))
(;B[nf]C[I think black should actually fix like this. It seems to leave the least weaknesses. I'm not sure how white would take advantage of this.]))

;B[nf]C[This looks impressive on the top. Yes, black gave white quite a bit on the right, but I don't think you can be too sad about this result.

I showed this variation to black and she said this kind of thing is what she wanted. Clearly this 23 kyu values grand moyos.]))
