I guess a lot of people think Black has a big lead after move 13 so this game is a good example of how to handle a loose moyo when you have some solid territory.

[Marcus]

Black's opening is interesting. I'm now experimenting with this pseudo Kobayashi/Micro Chinese fusion kind of thing in my own games ... lots of fun.

[fwiffo]

Yes, I noticed.

[Marcus]

Yes, I noticed.

Your current move has me brain-tied. You'll have to wait for my next move, it might take a while.

[Joaz Banbeck]

Anybody know the theory behind move #7? It is one point to the right of where I am used to seeing it.

It's becoming fairly common. I have a book from Japan that covers it for a little bit. The idea is fairly similar to the low Chinese.

I don't know about demolishing either, but it was an interesting game. Lee sedol will remember this. ahahahahah

It is discussed extensively in New In Go, items 68, 70 amd 71.

I don't know about theory, but the practice is hoary.
