First time looking at this game:
Wait, white is giving 15 komi? White is behind... :scratch:

Although, black's last move looks like it leaves a lot of aji...
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

White gave two stones... if it looked like W was 15 points ahead on move 34, that would be pretty amazing play by ez4u, no?

Not enough time to explain this right now. It ties up with how I would like to approach the rest of the game. More later...

I'm torn as black. White did not spend a move finishing the capture of the two black centre stones; they seem very big to me. On the other hand, white has been growing his moyo around that large knight's shimari, and b is a common place for approaching that. c... I don't really like c a lot :P.

The choice was between just taking a lot of points up time, or invading while I still have the chance. As nice as b looks, what if white just takes another move to expand the moyo?

This might be fine, but I don't think the points at the top are totally locked up, and white is threatening to grab a lot of the middle. I suppose in a game with less total territory, the 15 point handicap might be worth more. Also, b is just feels wrong; the focus of the game seems to be white's framework. So then the question is, how to reduce?

These were the main spots I thought of. D and C don't seem severe enough, I really want to strike at the heart of the framework. The standard probe of a seems bad because it is too easy for white to answer by allowing me to live in the corner and shut me in. I like the proke (probe+poke) of b because it's light, takes advantage of white's loose enclosure, and faces towards the outside.

Two main lines I see:

Hard to say what will happen here.

Don't forget White is also giving 15 points reverse komi.

Black's move feels a bit too deep to me. What about something like a or b instead? I think ez4u will be able to hassle black, it's hard to stay light in a position like that (for me anyway).

I think the center is more important than the corner. I think it is not so easy for Black to make a reasonable shape here. I do not expect to capture the Black stone(s), but I would like to push them around. I do not like the relationship of the marked stones if I answer underneath as below.

I think :b38: is an interesting play. I will continue as I began, emphasizing the center. However, I expect Black will play Q2 next or simply jump sideways to M3 and I have not yet convinced myself that I get an efficient result out of this.

don't really seem to have much of a choice here, as MHO is clearly stressing the outside. It looks like I might get shut in the corner in gote:

I'll obviously examine this more closely if it occurs, but this was my light read. I do get a reasonable amount of points in the corner, and white can't get both a and b, so I think the middle isn't as big as it looks, although d might be a problem after white b. I'll see if I have a chance to finagle sente out of this sequence

No special thought, I just remain consistent in valuing the outside over the corner.

Again concentrating on the outside. Also, answering inside per Jedo's trigger would mean going for a kill, which does not seem likely to succeed. I considered briefly descending with :w45: instead of the atari, but this seems more appropriate. He may cut here and play ko. I think I am not able to exchange the upper left for the bottom right and have any hope of winning, so he has many potential ko threats. We will see. Meanwhile, I hope to end in sente (naturally) but I am not sure that I can.
