is really bad. The two W stones at K17 and O17 have probably lost half a stone of combined efficiency, as Bill suggests. I am pretty sure that if both players were professional, the game would already be decided.
Players aren't professionals.
My opponents aren't pros, so it's OK if I make a few 10 kyu moves. Right?
I wonder about W12, I probably would push a bit longer (gaining points in the corner because disabling Black moves there) instead of jumping ahead with W12 and use the stone already in place at 10-3 to finally "get ahead".

My point: In the given circumstances W12 appears to be a mistake in itself, in other words a move not worthy of an aspiring player such as pippen, regardless of other mistakes earlier and later.

The sequence 30-32-34 feels pretty optimistic. If black plays 35 at G7, white seems likely to be swallowed whole.
