This guy asked me for pointers. I figured that I'd post it here and see if we could get some from somebody stronger than me.

Sorry, I'm not stronger than you, but I wonder if black thought about this sequence for 49: Not sure about the exact placement of :55: , but I think overall this works well w/ black's shape. So much so that I don't think I would play the double hane as white here. |

Thanks, but I wasn't planning on that sequence. His move certainly surprised me. I was going to try something like this to use my stone on the left better. |

Then it's as if black answered  with  , which is favorable for white.

Some comments, mostly for B: Move 19 is too soft on W, inviting him to make a perfect extension along the right side, into the direction B would like to develop. Blocking at R10 would be a more positive continuation, preventing W from making a base while staking out territory below. The natural continuation would be for both sides to jump into the center. B could then aim for a strong invasion at M17. Move 41 is way too cautious and submissive, leaving B over-concentrated. W really has no strong attack here, but if B wants to defend, choose a more active move, like B15 or E11. Move 56 is an overplay, inviting a strong counter-attack. Up to move 64, W gets into a difficult fight, which looks better for B. Rather than picking a fight here, W should just expand with a safe pressing move like D10 or E10. B is already over-concentrated here; do not give him a chance to use that thickness in a fight. Move 63 was spectacular, congratulations to B for finding a very strong play. But then move 65 settles for a very small payoff, from a position which was worth far more. B must attack all four W stones on a large scale, not be satisfied with picking off a few crumbs. The hane at G11 seems like the vital point. B could prepare a really strong attack by first attaching at F15 or pressing at G15. |

Thank you for the comments. I do tend to lose move of my games because I fight too strongly in areas that I don't need to. |
