@ Araban: I love your explanations, and I'd have to say that you're making an interesting game accessible to beginners like me. I especially like how you don't go into long complex variations, and I enjoy your global assessments.

Overall, I'm learning a lot just by watching your videos/reading your commentary. Keep up the good work!

I see no typo.

I think that Joaz missed the second instance of the word, "then". I also did the first time that I read it.

Yep, that was it.

Ah okay, I could see how it could be misread so I fixed it.

I guess he wants to play this common sequence, this way I can build up my moyo on the left, and I think I can be satisfied.

He could also play this way instead. He is completely alive with some territory, but I get sente and I might get the chance to cut at 'a' later.

The reason I didn't kick first was because I wanted to build a large moyo. I didn't want him playing something like below because he can treat his stones rather lightly and reduce my potential while also aiming to attack W2.

The high pincer didn't really have any deep meaning. Since I am going for a moyo, I will naturally play higher moves. Anyway, keep the questions coming, and sorry for taking so long.

Hey Gus

. I offered a trigger sequence in my last move/post, so my automatic/triggered response is C2. Then, if you play E3, I connect at D2.
