Stones 1 to 19 - The opening: I don’t find anything of particular interest here, but if someone notices a way in which any of us could have played better, please let me know.

Stones 20 to 39 - The invasion: White starts an invasion to which I respond TERRIBLY. I first put pressure on the lone stone in the left flank, and then after his response I try to cut the horse move and practically serving eye shape and life in a silver platter. Why did I do this? There’s this thing I tend to do (which I should stop doing) where sometimes I tend to apply abstract proverbs (“play aggressive where you are strong” => I thought I was pretty strong there) instead of actually reading the shape the moves get me into (and in this case the shape was quite an obvious one). From here on and until move 39 (with a final lone closure with 57) I am just trying to prevent the tentacles of the living invader from destroying my potential territory.

Stones 40 to 56 - Splitting the board: 40 gives me sente back, but I use it to keep pushing so I can get more center territory. White pushes my right side territory with 46, I respond by protecting my upper intent of territory with 47 (though I am not sure this was what needed the most protection right now). After 56 I think I will not be able to get much more juice from what is left here, so I start looking somewhere else.

Stone 57: I am not sure this was the best choice. It probably wasn’t; but I guess I was still beating myself up for messing up with the previous cut, so I was very wary of that section of the board. I DID notice that the upper left corner and lower left corner where still open for invasion, and I thought perhaps they where more important, but I was very worried that white would push through and totally destroy my center territory if I did not block there. So, yeah, here you go, take sente back.

Stones 58 to 66 - White invades again: typical 3-3 invasion in a corner, I guess. Perhaps white could have been a little less timid, but he managed to get potential for life. After move 66 I assessed that I had a decent wall protecting my territory and that I needed to not lose the invasion spot in the lower left corner, so I acted.

Stones 67 to 78 - Black Invades: Again, a typical invasion. Again, perhaps I was lucky white didn’t play more aggressively here; after move 78 I assumed I had potential for life here and little prospects for expanding further, so I figured the next stone could be used somewhere else.

Stones 79 to 98 - Drawing the line: Here I am trying to push a little further in this space to negate white some points. I think I made some good use of the weak points white was leaving while trying to push me, so I was quite satisfied with the outcome of this exchange.

Stones 99 to 118 - The start of the endgame: The first few moves (99-103) its me trying to set white up, but he obviously saw trough my quite evident scheme and reacted appropriately. Yeah, I am still not very witty with my trick plays. The rest of the moves to 118 are pretty straightforward exchanges and I didn’t notice anything special in them.

Stones 119 to 130 - A last exchange: With 118 I make a threat to the upper left corner invaders and white makes a threat to my lower left corner group. I don’t know what did white read of this situation, but my reading told me that I could kill white whole upper group and that white move only threatened two of the stones in my group and that the rest could be saved (with no air to breath, but saved nonetheless). In the end the exchange played out pretty much how I pictured it would go, so I was pretty happy for being able to read this life or death problem accurately (and also for the exchange itself =P).

Stones 131 onwards - Rest of the endgame: again, I didn’t find anything noteworthy about this moves (I just include this line for completion).
