I don't know if C8 was better. I chose L13: defend the weakest group while attacking.

This is an interesting situation. Overall I don't feel like I'm playing from behind. I actually feel the opposite. I've got a good framework going. White's move is interesting because I planned to target those stones with my next move. Of course I've got my black stones completely surrounded. If they die that's game. I feel like I should be able to live. I think I'm going to take some time here. My first instinct is G16. J13 seems like another option for me. But if I play J13 I feel like white can divide my stones easily and running isn't really an option given white's position.

Then black tries to live inside. White's not in danger here, though, there is a cutting point to think about. But white has lots of space in the upper left corner, too..

So I guess I'd expect white to put pressure on black here - threaten to kill. If white kills black, that's great. But otherwise, white'll get stronger on the outside, and can move on to invade on the right and/or bottom when white (probably) gets sente:

White actually has fewer points than I initially imagined - I wonder why that is. Maybe because of the low position in the bottom left?

But I'd say it's still a good game for white given that white can put pressure on these black stones, and have a good center presence, which will help when the game proceeds on the right and bottom.

Cut the stone J13 to get a strong center, make H15 a false eye and thus force him to live, hopefully in gote with 2 points ? I can't read the life and death status of the group. Can he put pressure on G17 to live in sente?

Before, it looked like white had to play catch up by invading the right and bottom after getting strength from surrounding. Now, I'm wondering if white will capture.

A bit disappointed by the premature ending but thanks for the game, the beginning was interesting nevertheless. And thanks to the viewers for their comments.
