I have a hard time against this sort of style, which seems to be endemic in Japanese players on KGS, which are apparently the only ones awake at midnight PST. When I say "this style", I characterize it as building a large moyo on one side of the board followed by aggressive invasions and a cavalier disregard for groups that are in danger, winning or losing by sabaki and reading skill. It plays to my weaknesses, as I'm not great at sabaki and "side joseki" so I generally shy away from invasions and when the opponent invades I usually try to invite them to live small on the side and secure the rest of the moyo as territory.

I ended up winning only because my opponent entirely flubbed a ko in the end game and had to resign.

Anyway, comments are appreciated. For the record, I didn't know any of the josekis that white tried to initiate.
