Being high, it claims a fighting stance. But Black is strong on the upper side. So as soon as black defends along the left, what will White fight against. I would prefer White A instead. As played, Black is likely to get to threaten White with B sooner than White can extend on the upper side, since Black B will be a threat and White moves on the upper side will not be as much of a threat.] ;B[dj]CR[dj]BL[2486.8];W[nq]CR[nq]WL[2528.3]LB[qn:A] C[Good choice of direction.

A might be nice for black.] ;W[pr]CR[pr]WL[2491.9];B[qq]CR[qq]BL[2403.7]LB[mq:A] C[Last chance missed to switch direction.

I doubt White can afford to invade behind A before defending his corner.] ;W[cd]CR[cd]WL[2445.2]TR[fd] C[This shows the weakness of White's original triangle move. White secures his corner from one undercut, but it is still undercut from the other side, so not much territory is really formed for all this work. Inefficient. But White has no other good choices in the area. So that helps show that triangle was a mistake.] ;B[gq]CR[gq]BL[2264.1] C[Good. Develops black's biggest moyo. Better than a move on the left side.] ;W[cp]CR[cp]WL[2389.8] C[reasonable.];B[cq]CR[cq]BL[2093.8];W[co]CR[co]WL[2366.2];B[bq]CR[bq]BL[2087.9] ;W[cl]CR[cl]WL[2356.4];B[bk]CR[bk]BL[1961.4];W[bl]CR[bl]WL[2285.2];B[ck] CR[ck]BL[1935.5];W[do]CR[do]WL[2280.9];B[ep]CR[ep]BL[1932.4]LB[ck:B][dl:C][en:A] TR[do]SQ[bl] C[White's play in this area has been sluggish and heavy. One might have expected A instead of triangle, which would still generally provoke Black's circle response and White would be better off. And having played square instead of B, means that the valuable point of C still remains for Black to take.] ;W[pf]CR[pf]WL[2270.1] C[White has an awful position on the board. The top left is inefficient. The bottom left is a weak group inside Black's sector line. And now White leaves it to play this move? ] ;B[qk]CR[qk]BL[1526.6] C[Black tries to ruin the wall effect of White's last move, but this leaves open the question of whether or not White can cause mischief in Black's upper position.

White currently has 38 points sketched. Black has 49. White has a weak group but Black's position above it is none too strong either. B is an interesting move which aims to play C, but Black must keep his own positions strong. One could play D, expecting E, and then jump to F. This reinforces the black group and indirectly attacks the weak White one by reinstating a long sector line (F->triangle). But it is small in profit terms. Best is to play G, ruining much of WHite's corner value and threatening to take away White's base. If White backs down, it is sente. If White moves out, this merely helps provoke Black into defending his left side group.] ;B[ef]CR[ef]BL[1451.1]LB[be:A] C[It's not a bad move, just not as dynamic.];W[eh]CR[eh]WL[2073.5] C[White overreaches himself by creating a NEW weak group while one already exists.] ;B[fj]CR[fj]BL[1296.6] C[IDEAL. It will be hard for White to manage all this activity.];W[bf]CR[bf] WL[2049.3]LB[gl:A]TR[eh] C[This move is bad because it helps black strengthen his own group, wasting White triangle. OR, worse, Black gets to take the dominant position by attacking at A, since White is neglecting his own weak group.] ;B[bg]CR[bg]BL[1276.2]LB[be:A][gl:B] C[Better to play at A, making a local trade in losses, and aim to get sente to play B] ;W[be]CR[be]WL[2042.4];B[cg]CR[cg]BL[1251.0]SQ[eh][fj] C[So white has gotten the better endgame value in the area, but exchanged square moves, which is better for Black.] ;W[gb]CR[gb]WL[2004.8] C[Black could have slid in sente here MUCH sooner. White makes profit, but White is leaving his weak group to suffer.] ;B[gf]CR[gf]BL[1177.6]LB[gl:A] C[It's not awful, but White is much more committed to the lower group, so Black should attack it first with A.] ;W[pj]CR[pj]WL[1983.2]LB[qj:A] C[This is a weird choice.

Better to make moves that affect the board in a bigger way. A is still better. White might defend, then B would sketch a big central moyo. Still Black actual move DOES harm White's bottom group, so it is a good move.] ;W[or]CR[or]WL[1952.1]LB[iq:A] C[SO PASSIVE. Makes black's move great. At least White should have grown to A, which makes new territory and lends a hand toward White's other weak group.] ;B[ir]CR[ir]BL[1118.7] C[Black gets both sides, so can be well pleased. ];W[fg]CR[fg]WL[1940.0] C[White is still losing in territory and weak groups, so the board is a problem. This move, which activates another white weak group and gets it committed to defending itself with no apparent hope of really attacking Black would be stupidity personified-- except that White needs some kind of confusion to hope to win. So why not?] ;B[ff]CR[ff]BL[1115.6];W[hh]CR[hh]WL[1935.7];B[hj]CR[hj]BL[1099.7] C[Black can be content playing like a kitten with a mouse.];W[jh]CR[jh]WL[1926.9] ;B[ig]CR[ig]BL[1089.7];W[ih]CR[ih]WL[1897.7];B[kf]CR[kf]BL[1085.7]LB[lh:A] C[This move builds a wall making little profit. MUCH better is to continue the attacks on White, making sure white continues to have a weak group and giving White no ability to make central territory. To do this, Black must separate White by playing A. Then the chase can continue for a long time and Black can hope to mix it with several weak white groups simultaneously.
