I could have sacced much of this side to build up on the bottom, if I had atari'ed on top instead, but I'd rather have a group on both sides, if I can get them to both be stable. I'm actually considering C4 next. While it's bad shape, it reduces black's corner liberties by 1. After that, B2 would reduce the liberties to 2 and prevent escape.

Decided to make ugly shape to reduce liberties. Looks like I've got a decent corner and am out on at least one side. This seems reasonable for the thickness I gave. If I can get out on the bottom, I'll be golden.

And it looks like the lings'll clean up the zealots here, Zerg successfully defending his expansion, securing the eco line. Protoss gaining a small advantage because of his proxy gate, which is allowing him to pile on early aggression in this stage of the game. It looks like it's time for him to take an expansion soon, which definitely gives him control of the map here.

If it were me, I'd probably start going showing some aggression on the map, if Zerg takes another expansion here, I think Protossw will definitely take the lead.

I really think there's a better move than this, but I can't see it. Maybe I messed up somewhere.

Not a terrible result for me, though, knowing that I strayed from joseki wildly.

Trading sente for the corner, as planned. That's a lot of thickness, but I'm out on one side and have stuff like G3 that are interesting.

Mohhhh Yohhhhh.

I could play a few things, but I like this one best with my previous corner.

In review, I think the cut at C3 was overplay.

Still, the result is not terrible. White /can/ push along the second line here, but it doesn't seem like that's a great idea for white.

I am guessing white will tenuki into the last corner at this point.

I want to get f2 at some point, but I don't think I have the time for that right now, which is why the cut was wrong.

This is a possible better idea for 17. I could have also done better after the cut..

21 threatens some problems, so I think it's somewhat sente.

Both these outcomes are better than my current situation.

Not that this situation is terrible, but his 24 was better than I expected. It kills a lot of aji in the area. I'm actually shocked that he bothered with this 26, and gave me back some sente. The aji is mostly gone, Yes, his move kills it dead, but I don't think it's required.

I'm taking a 4-4 because it extends influence in both directions, which works well with my other stones there, though they're low.

I didn't worry about the budding moyo because I'm trying to treat 'a' and 'b' as miai. They're not entirely, but they should be close enough.

Not going to hide this since there are no specifics, just musings.
We're officially into the last corner. Within the next 15 moves, we'll have settled the opening, and we'll be into the midgame.

Black is fairly happy with his bad result in the left, and white has a good framework..
Black's moyo must be reduced, and the obvious area for that is along the bottom.

I've decided to shore up the left now, rather than leave a weak point on those stones.

Almost time for white to really start fighting, and then we'll see how the game will end.

Some of you may be wondering if the marked exchange is any good. It removes some aji that white could capitalize on if white played B first. Now, turning the corner on top of B is still a concern, but not one that needs dealt with immediately, because it isn't a huge weak spot for black's already not so great heavy group.

Move 31 is of course what I wanted to play, but playing the forced exchange first seemed like a good idea.

White will most likely pincer this, allowing me to play a supported 3.3 invasion and wreck this corner. If white doesn't play the pincer, there's plenty of room for life on this side, so we'll likely slide and play an extension. Notice how the tengen stone continues to support approaches, even in what would normally be considered 'white's side'.
