C[SoDesuNe:
Black usually jumps here in the Joseki. Every further push is
good for White to build a wall and when Black decides to pincer
the wall, White can bend around Black's stones on the right,
which should be huge ^^]

C[SoDesuNe:
Wanted to take Black's natural extension away and making me a
nice group.]
WL[2174.533]
;B[po]
C[I strongly considered D14 instead of this. What's better?
SoDesuNe:
I think D14 is wrong direction. You're solid with your bottom
left group, so you don't need to play near it.
F17 is a huge point, maybe G17, too. Both threaten to invade
or cap my top right group. Furthermore you're building up a nice
little framework for yourself.
But then I could attack your Komoku, I don't know if this is
better for Black.]
BL[2084.155];W[fc]
C[SoDesuNe:
As I am very bad with Moyos, I think I should have invaded San-San.
Black's natural choice of direction would be down the left side,
but if he ends in Gote, I would immediately shoulder-hit his
C9-stone.]

C[This seems urgent, now.
SoDesuNe:
Very big, yes.]
BL[1942.385];W[qm]
C[Not unexpected, but I didn't really know how to deal with it.]
WL[1913.479];B[qn]BL[1870.726];W[om]WL[1903.787]
;B[pl]
C[Just to take away white's shape.
SoDesuNe:
As far as I know, this is a bad move. Of course, I can't make
eye-shape when I connect but at the same time, Black's getting
bad shape too (broken Keima R6-Q8).
More natural is it to jump ahead of White (I don't think White
could live locally), threaten to surround. Your group in the
top right is fine and alive. If White moves out aswell, you're
jumping with your Q12-stone. Both reducing White's Moyo and chasing
White's group.]
BL[1843.567];W[pm]WL[1900.721];B[nh]BL[1840.32];W[qp]
C[I had this coming, I guess. :(
SoDesuNe:
Yeah, this was more of a desperate measure. I needed to get some
shape, so I could Tenuki and defend my Moyo without leaving too
much Aji behind. And I needed to do it in Sente =D]

;B[pp]BL[1766.858];W[mf]WL[1747.811];B[lq]
C[I think this was bad, giving white the obvious jump in response.
SoDesuNe:
I don't think this is that bad. Okay, it induced my jump but
on the other side you made your corner group safe and picked
up territory.]

C[SoDesuNe:
One of the losing moves. Defending my Moyo is sooo huge and Black
can't really reduce with Q18, at least not so effective.]
WL[1666.801]
;B[kf]
C[Had to get here before white, I think.
SoDesuNe:
Yeah, big and urgent.]
BL[1451.139];W[kh]
C[I wasn't expecting this. Actually, I don't know what I was expecting
since there are so many possibilities. I didn't know what to
do, so...
SoDesuNe:
I was clueless, too. One of the reasons, why I hate Moyos ^^
I thought about ataching at L13 or N12 but I could not find a
good sequence.]
WL[1502.357];B[kg]

for a simple reduction of the white area.]

C[I was happy white didn't play M10.
SoDesuNe:
Yep, would have been better for White.]
WL[1371.304];B[lj]BL[1221.76];W[ce]
C[Nice move. I was always hoping to get back to that corner, but
it never happened.
SoDesuNe:
I think this is bad timing. N11 is more urgent.]
WL[1298.612];B[de]BL[1203.771];W[bc]WL[1257.401];B[nj]
C[Wanted to play C14, of course, but still too worried about white
at N11.]
BL[1073.461];W[lo]WL[1159.855];B[lp]
C[Another of my odd moves. I didn't like it. It helps my stones,
but does nothing to white.
SoDesuNe:
Well I didn't want to be cut here with my right side group weak
and eyeless. So I think this move is fine.]
BL[1051.613];W[ko]
C[But, white obliged by making my odd move into sente.]
WL[1113.958]
;B[cf]BL[1046.681];W[cm]

WL[1020.743];B[dm]BL[930.558];W[dn]WL[999.013];B[bn]
C[I felt now I will at least connect underneat. Expecting w-D8,
b-B7.
SoDesuNe:
Yeah, I somehow got lost here in the varaitions, so I just went
for a Moyo but I granted you too much.]
BL[882.854];W[em]
C[I' mreally bad at this stuff, but I thought this was the wrong
side.]

Top is far bigger. But well, I had made this little wall, so
I had to play consistent.]

C[No idea what I'm doing here! :)]
BL[816.939];W[kd]WL[740.007];B[ld]BL[734.665];W[lc]
C[I was worried about M15, instead of this. No matter what I didn't
want to be completely cut off and try to live on the top. All
I wanted was some forcing moves to reduce, and maybe get some
help from the aji of thecut at Q16.
SoDesuNe:
Couldn't dig through all the variations of M15 and was afraid
of losing all my territory here. So I took this instead, but
I overlooked O15.]
WL[584.892];B[mc]
C[I also really wanted to descend at L18, but the only results
I could see was a cut off one-eyed group.]
BL[569.674];W[kb]WL[461.533];B[le]BL[567.229];W[mb]
C[SoDesuNe:
White has to play O15.... Black can't cut then... One of the
losing moves.]

C[I'm okay with this result.

odd move. I think this should be at L8.]
