;B[pp]
;W[dd]
(;B[pc]C[I'm went back to the Low Chinese for this game. I've been missing this opening.]
;W[cp]C[My opponent offered me an ideal approach. Kajiwara Takeo suggests that  I should approach in "The Direction of Play."]
;B[ep]C[So I approach.]
;W[dn]
;B[cq]
;W[bq]
;B[dq]
;W[bo]
;B[hq]TR[np]SQ[cj]C[I was fine with this result. Yes, H3 is low, but I have a nice follow-up at O4 for a 5-space extension. White still owes a move on the side to make things settled over there.

I don't see any reason why this joseki is not playable by both sides here.]
;W[jq]C[This, I am sure, is a mistake.]
;B[nq]C[I take some profit from the attack.]
;W[jo]
;B[ho]C[Strengthen my group]
;W[jm]
;B[pi]C[And then make a framework. I go high because this stone could be used in attacking the K3 stick.]
;W[pn]C[This seems like another mistake. Making a weak group out of nowhere. I notice a lot of the players on IGS have a habit of doing this. 

Perhaps that is why battousai says all you have to do to reach dan level is count to 2. I image that is true on the IGS at least.]
;B[nn]
;W[pk]
;B[rj]TR[pe][qe][qf]C[I decide to undercut here. It gives me nice potential to profit with an enclosure.]
;W[nm]
;B[mm]C[I read out this next sequence. The cross-cut is not a good idea, so I play the hane.]
;W[mn]C[White apparently doesn't agree.]
;B[om]
;W[nl]
;B[on]
;W[ol]
;B[pm]C[So I get an even bigger corner. I feel very much ahead at this point.]
;W[pe]TR[pi][rj]C[White makes yet another weak group. However, I do need to be careful of my two stones.]
;B[nd]
;W[qc]
;B[qb]
;W[qd]
;B[rb]
;W[ph]C[This attachment seems... excessive. White is not that weak. And my two stones are definately not strong.

Attaching to weak stones is bad.]
;B[oi]C[But playing solidly when you are weak is good.]
;W[nf]
;B[fc]LB[mi:A][ql:B]C[I decide to play fast here. I felt I had A-B miai to help my stones on the right.]
;W[hc]TR[df]C[Apparently white doesn't want me to ever take any development - even when the left side would be a fantastic point for him to develop. Note this move and also 12, 18, and 30.]
;B[fe]LB[pe:3][nl:2][mm:A][jo:1]TR[id]C[I come out. I'd was interested in leaning to get a wall to attack one of white's 3 groups. This move also serves as a ladder breaker for the A stone, meaning that those groups are again disconnnected.]
;W[cf]C[Now white defends his corner, but he does so low. Not exactly sure why. Maybe he realized how weak his position actually was and felt he needed to play solid?]
;B[id]
;W[jc]C[Then white does this move. I don't know this joseki, apparently because it's not a joseki. Whatever it is we do, I think it turns out okay for me.]
;B[ic]
;W[le]
;B[jb]
;W[lc]
;B[pd]C[I play an asking move here to see if white will let me just settle in the corner and take his 2 stones.]
(;W[re]C[He says "No" like this, which feels weak.]
;B[mf]LB[pe:A][nf:B]C[I cut, even if the ladder doesn't work, because I now want to cut off the A group by playing the atari on the B stone.]
;W[me]
;B[ne]
;W[ng]C[White does not allow this.]
;B[lf]LB[le:4][pe:3][nl:2][jo:1]C[So I bring out my stone. White now would appear to have 4 unsettled groups....]
;W[kf]
;B[mh]
;W[rc]C[White helps the group over here, so now it is time for me to attack the other side.]
;B[oe]C[First I force here to strengthen my stones.]
;W[pf]
;B[ke]C[Then I cut, and the cut does work.]
;W[je]C[White forces me down because apparently he likes creating heavy groups for me to poke at.]
;B[kd]
;W[jd]
;B[ld]
;W[kc]
;B[md]
;W[kb]
;B[ib]
;W[ie]
;B[he]
;W[hf]
;B[gf]C[Here I make a mistake. I didn't fully read out the atari, but it turns out okay.]
;W[hd]
;B[hb]
;W[ge]
;B[gc]
;W[gg]
;B[ff]C[I save the stone because I don't want his group to be settled just yet.]
;W[rk]C[Now he does this. I don't think my resonse is very strong. I want to keep the white group here unsettled, but I think I should just take my corner profit.]
;B[qk]
;W[ql]
;B[qj]
;W[pl]
;B[qm]
;W[rm]
(;B[nj]C[This move fixes the cut and generates a new cut for me.]
;W[qn]
;B[po]
;W[no]
;B[oo]
;W[ro]
;B[rp]
;W[mk]C[Sadly, white finds time to fix.]
;B[ln]
;W[mo]
;B[lm]LB[kl:B][lo:A]C[After this forcing sequence I felt I had A-B miai to capture or keep up the attack.]
;W[mj]C[Then white finds this move, which saddened me.]
;B[nh]
;W[lo]
;B[kl]C[Now my attack is much weaker.]
;W[kj]
;B[jl]
;W[im]LB[kn:A]C[But white defends like this, so I have some aji to aim at at A.]
;B[il]
;W[hm]
;B[ij]
;W[kh]
;B[lh]
;W[ki]C[White's now pretty much connected, so I help my center stones.]
;B[kn]LB[jn:A][ko:B]C[A-B miai]
;W[ko]
;B[jn]
;W[io]
;B[in]
;W[hn]
;B[go]
;W[mq]C[White works to save the inside group, which seems urgent.]
;B[nr]
;W[mr]
(;B[gl]C[I then just capture here to keep things simple.]
;W[ir]
;B[hr]
;W[ns]
;B[or]
;W[os]
;B[ps]
;W[ms]
;B[pq]
;W[fn]C[White threatens to save.]
;B[gn]
;W[fm]
;B[gm]
;W[dj]C[Then finally plays a move over here. But that is white's only real area of territory.]
;B[ch]
;W[ci]C[He defends this way.]
;B[dh]
;W[eg]C[Then takes the elephant's eye.]
;B[ei]C[I help over here.]
;W[qr]C[Then white plays here for some reason, I guess he thought he might kill?]
;B[pr]
;W[np]
;B[qo]C[But then I get this move.]
;W[rn]
;B[sk]C[And this move.]
;W[rl]
;B[so]C[Now he has no more eyes.]
;W[fg]C[So he connects back.]
;B[kg]C[I threaten to disconnect.]
;W[ih]
;B[fj]C[Then I play here, which required a lot of reading but I saw a way to keep white split with this move, it also just connects my own stones back.]
;W[eb]C[First white forces me to live.]
;B[gd]
;W[he]
;B[ec]
;W[dc]
;B[fb]
;W[db]
;B[ga]
;W[rh]C[Then he helps this group.]
;B[hh]C[Now the magic.]
;W[hg]
;B[jg]
;W[ii]C[Sadly, it just barely doesn't work. I needed another move in the area...]
;B[hi]C[So I just threaten.]
;W[ig]
(;B[df]C[And then I disconnect here. I think this was a mistake, however.]
;W[nb]
;B[ce]C[So I follow-up against the corner.]
;W[ef]
;B[de]
;W[ee]
;B[bc]C[I then decide to take away all the corner points instead of just continuing to disconnect as white can live in that corner.]
;W[dg]
;B[cd]
;W[ed]
;B[cg]C[But I have stolen the corner from white. Now we move to end-game.]
;W[ob]
;B[pb]
;W[ea]
;B[fa]
;W[hj]
;B[gi]
;W[bi]
;B[dl]C[Then I play this move, which required even more reading than anything else. I had been reading it a bit before now and spent nearly 3 minutes making sure this works.]
;W[el]
;B[ek]
;W[dk]
;B[cl]
;W[bk]
;B[em]C[Then this move. White must let me connect.]
;W[fl]C[He does not.]

;W[bp]LB[fr:A]C[Now here I make my saddest mistake. All I need to do is play at F2 and I win.]
(;B[bn]C[But I get stupid and greedy.]
;W[er]C[So I salvage the situation as best I can by capturing the other side.]
