;B[fe]C[To this point, you are doing fine.]
;W[gc]
(;B[cl]C[Two things with this move:

1. Why did you choose to pincer instead of playing an approach move or an enclosure?

2. I wonder about the spacing of this pincer. It seems wishy-washy - neither enclosing the corner nor attacking white's stone.]
;W[nc]C[This is a poor move by white. All of his stones on this side are low and you already have F15 in place to reduce. An enclosure for the bottom right or approaching on the other side would be much stronger.]
;B[pf]
;W[op]
;B[qk]C[Very good. This move is vital for both players. Your high stones want to build the right and white's enclosure does as well.]
;W[pb]
;B[qc]
;W[kc]C[This is very slow by white, and note: all of his stones are low. There is nothing to build here...]
;B[jq]C[You have now taken away white's chance to build the bottom. This game looks easy for black now.]
;W[fq]C[This may be premature, but I understand why white would think an invasion is necessary.]
;B[dr]
;W[qm]
;B[ok]
;W[qb]
;B[mq]C[Very good!

White's corner move is painfully slow and this point is very important for both sides, giving your K3 stone a base and undercutting white's corner.]
;W[oq]
;B[fo]C[Interesting.

If your reason for playing this is to split F3 and C11 on a global scale, I like that idea.]
;W[gp]
;B[hn]
;W[gr]
;B[hq]C[Shape point taken.

To this point in the game, you don't look like a 13k. Any struggles in winning came later.]
;W[nf]C[I guess white is giving up on his stones down there. Probably wise.]
;B[oh]
;W[ck]TR[nf]C[Ah. Now white is trying to get back in the game! Notice how he is attempting to surround C15 by leaning on your group.]
;B[dl]
;W[fj]
;B[bc]C[You saw the threat and did something about it.]
;W[dk]C[Not sure about this move by white. I feel like C13 would be better for making some sort of eyespace for his group.]
;B[hd]C[And now you work to surround his eyeless group on a grand scale! Perhaps this was not the best move, but it's a fine idea.

I'm assuming this was a correspondence speed game?]
;W[hc]
;B[gd]C[Uh... In general we want to keep ahead of our opponents. J16  would be the idea.]
;W[el]C[White now can come back and take this hane freely beause there is no pressure on the top. His group is rapidly settling.]
;B[cn]TR[dn]C[This is far too timid.  At least D6. The hane is hard, but I haven't read it far enough to see where it goes.]
;W[fc]C[Now white's the one taking away shape points.]
;B[dh]C[An interesting lean. Did you read that this kept your stones all connected?]
(;W[ch]
;B[di]C[Risky. white is not undercut and that base he has is worth at least one eye. With a move at D10 I don't see how you'd stop him from getting two.]
;W[gj]C[This is a bad move. It does nothing for making eyes. It is too slow to get white out. And it is not threatening anything.]
;B[cg]C[This point is vital. Now your stones are connected!]
(;W[gg]C[White threatens to cut.]
;B[ek]C[You take a cut.]
;W[ej]
;B[fk]
;W[dj]C[With this move, I don't see how white won't get two eyes locally.]
;B[fl]C[And he lived in sente.]
;W[dg]C[Oh dear!]
;B[df]
;W[eg]C[Yeah, sacrificing those was probably the only way to go.]
;B[bg]C[So you live locally too, but your life is in gote - white has those two black stones and room to run, so no need for him to block.]

(;B[lo]C[This move is interesting. On the one hand it looks slow, but on the other hand it really helps to ensure that G2 stays dead.]
;W[rl]C[This move is slow by white.]
(;B[ql]C[You shouldn't poke at diagonal moves, it usually just helps your opponent.]
;W[rk]
;B[rj]
;W[qj]C[Now this is getting messy.]
;B[pj]C[Did you read this?]
;W[qi]
;B[ri]
(;W[rc]C[Not sure why white does this now. Guess the computer couldn't read 8 moves ahead.]
;B[rd]
;W[rb]
;B[qh]C[So you get to stop the disaster.]
;W[nr]C[Wow this is super slow. Somebody take C18!]
(;B[ms]C[This is even slower. You don't need another move here.]
;W[ij]
;B[cb]LB[jd:B][hf:C][mh:A]C[Thank you! With that, by my count, black has 12 points in the top left, 68 points in the bottom left, and 12 points in the top right. - 92 points total

White has 6.5 komi, 22 points on the top, 14 points in the center, and 28 points in the bottom right. - 70.5 points plus some potential in the center.

To win this game, all black must do is prevent white from getting more than 20 points in the center. I marked 3 important points for black to snag.

I hope you found these comments helpful.]
