So, I don't think this move requires to much explanation, but I want to go over my last move.

Essentially, I considered continuing playing in the bottom left part in the board with either a or b. I think the point A is pretty big for either player, and I would like to get sente at some point so that I can come back and play it. The cut at B seems interesting, but I don't really know how I could follow it up. I know that trying to kill that white group is probably the wrong idea, so I want to attack it for profit, but I don't think I can at this point. If white takes the time to come back and fix the cut, I will get to play a free move elsewhere.

Ultimately, my groups seem strong enough in the bottom left that I can invade up top. 3-3 seems the simplest so that's what I chose.

Hane at the head of two stones cannot be bad

Not much to say here.

Don't allow atari

Well, can't decide between b13 and c13. c13 is joseki, but having c12 in place, it feels overconcentrated. But with b13 some complications may occur soon...

still not much to say

He will protect the cut, and then I will play E8 like I've been wanting to. I don't think he can afford to leave the cut.

定石です (jouseki desu)

As I mentioned earlier, I feel like this move is really big for both white and black, so I am going to take. I feel like I still have a lead in this game, so I am not going to try anything drastic. I'll probably try counting the score in the next few turns, but I am currently feeling kind of lazy and I am sitting in a class.

I'll venture to connect that stone to steal some territory. Now it's time for him to attack the g5 group.
