I expected MW to resign here. All Kirby has to do is play solidly and semi-competitively, and the game is his.

This seems the only reasonable play next:

I do not understand what is going on, anymore.

The reason I do not understand is because Magicwand's last move (P9, that is) seems to indicate that the right side is important.

However, this move moves me into his area on the right:

I will have to be careful from here on out to see what his plan is and counter it.

I think that Magicwand is missing a kikashi as shown below. It is sente for white. But if black ever gets a chance to play it, he could start chopping white apart.

i made terrorable mistake on the bottom.
i guess this what i mean by getting old.
but i play to win. i will try to find a way to comeback.

analysis:
lower black point is about 60 points.
lower white point is i will guess about 20 points.
i have thickness in the middle that will help me make things complicated on top.
all i need is to capture one group using that thickness.
it is hard to do but i dont think it is impossible.

black has weakness at "a" and "b". white is connected to marked stone so it is very thick.
i will see if he answer the corner.
