;B[qk]BL[1792.712]SQ[pd][qk][pq]C[This is the Low Chinese fuseki - a personal favorite of mine. It is used by pros and has been studied extensively since about the 1970s. The goal is to build a framework on the bottom. The traditional approach is a long-knight's approach to the 3-4 on the outside. Within the last year or so pros have been doing a low approach to the top and immediate corner invasion.]
;W[np]WL[1769.086]TR[mp]C[This stone is a bit too close to the 3-4. One away is more normal.]
;B[po]BL[1789.083]
;W[jq]WL[1763.089]SQ[kp][lp][mp]C[Notice how this is a three space gap, so it makes invading/attacking more possible for black, especially because your approach stone is closer.]
;B[cf]BL[1787.901]
;W[dh]WL[1722.022]
;B[bd]BL[1785.703]C[This is wrong.]
(;W[nd]WL[1674.239]C[The high approach is wrong in this situation. You want to use it in specific situations.

1. In the Second Book of Go it is explained that you can use it if you need to avoid being pincered because the double high approach is severe. Black doesn't want to pincer here.
2. You can use it if you have great potential on the top side and need to maintain it (which would be a good reason not to want to be pincered) but you don't have that great of potential on the top.]
;B[pf]BL[1773.047]C[This is the move black wanted to make, and it is the proper response.]
(;W[ic]WL[1624.19]TR[jc][kc][lc][mc]SQ[ec][fc][gc][hc]C[Symetrical 4 space extensions are bad because they are only about as safe as 5 space extensions. It is better to have a 3 space and 5 space paired. However, in this situation, a 3 space from both sides is also not very good.]
;B[cc]BL[1762.813]
;W[dc]WL[1587.448]

I think the biggest thing for you to work on is knowing when to play elsewhere. Try to find the big moves. Don't just respond to your opponent and make sure you evaluate the whole board. Reading mistakes and stuff happen, but with experience and more games those will grow smaller.])
