the defect at a is gone, and the latter works for me I think this is the worst variation for him because my territory is safe, and i get to attack him. my influence after the attack even points the exact direction I wanted it to, at his moyo for a reduction! I hope I am not misreading again.

I don't need to reduce him and I don't need to start any crazy fights. I didn't expect this result, but I'm very satisfied. I have a solid lead and I'm pretty sure it's impossible to lose this game now. Now if I just had sente to play L3

I actually don't know what will L3 do, it just attracts me. There are hundreds of possibilities and most of them look very well for me I just want to fight and try something new

At first sight, I don't think he can do this. Keima can be cut very easily and I believe the cut will work here. But I'll have to read this one.

I don't think he read this out, but I have found this variation that I think will live inside my territory. I have avoided posting any diagrams so far, because they are mostly very off even in the first move or two (from looking at other malkovich games around my level). But I'll post this one.
might be just too mild, but I can't see anything that would kill him. Well, looking at it now, maybe at a might work. But still, my D9 group doesn't have ideal shape and would suffer from lack of liberties. This move is difficult. I can afford the luxury of just blocking him, but should I really play just safe?
OK, now I decided to play safe because of my G15 weakness, letting him inside my territory and trying to kill him there could get messy. That's the last thing I need now.

It's sad that he got to play this, but I was looking for white's move in this part of the board before and I couldn't find anything satisfactory. So I estimated border of my territory as it is now and I think it's fair. Now he will have some forcing moves against my corner. I can only hope it won't get serious.
might be just too mild, but I can't see anything that would kill him. Well, looking at it now, maybe
