;B[pq]BL[1489.903]C[I felt this was a mistake as soon as I played it, because W gets to approach immediately. I suppose it probably doesn't matter too much. I don't have that much experience with handicap though.

BG: This is actually a fine move, and it turns out well for you. The reason that white approaches immediately is that your extension to Q5 is a very strong move.]

BG: I'm not sure about this one. The cut at A makes me nervous, although it doesn't seem like an immdiate disaster. I'd have to think about it more to have a firm opinion. But my gut is that O5 is better. Extending at gets you fifth line territory, and if white extends, you can then safely hane.]LB[no:A]

BG: This would have been my goal too, but A might be a bit stronger because you have more room to extend from the shimari on top than on the side. You want the high point to face the side you can extend the farthest.]LB[qf:A]

(;B[jd]BL[1376.383]C[I don't feel a need to respond directly to R13, and I figure that this is the largest point left on the board. Maybe I can try a cap or shoulder hit of some sort if I want to provoke a response from W.

BG: I think this is ok, but I feel like the variation starting from A might have been stronger. It develops the large moyo for you, which will give you some leverage.]LB[dl:A]

;B[jp]BL[1299.107]C[Taking the last big point is surely bigger than preventing W from crawling further along the 2nd line at the top.

BG:  I think you intuition to turn down here was correct, but this is not the move. A is a bit stronger. Normally, white will respond with B, and you can play C. Generally speaking, you want to develop a moyo like this rather than play a defensive move like yours.]LB[cl:B][dl:A][dn:C]
;W[nq]WL[1410.899]
(;B[op]BL[1241.146]C[This took a fair amount of thought. I considered not trying too hard to save the Q3 group, since this shape looks really really ugly, but I decided that would allow W far too much of a bite into my bottom side.

BG: You were right to think about the cut, but in this case, I don't think you need to protect it. If white cut, you could play A, which immediately reduces white to three liberties while your grop on the right has four and the ability to get more. I haven't read this out too far, but I think A is a stronger move. See the variation. ]LB[lp:A]
;W[kr]WL[1408.506]
(;B[lp]BL[1226.209]C[M3 might be better to go for a kill or something, but I'm happy to seal W in low and keep everything of mine all connected up.

BG: M2. is the move you want. White will live, but small and you'll keep territory either on the right or left, more likely left. See variation.]

;B[og]BL[1139.834]C[Taking sente again. I've got some walls along the top and bottom so I try to make use of them somehow. They seem closer to the right than the left, so I played here. I thought about the shoulder hit Q14 but this cap seemed more likely to get me stuff in the centre.

BG: I think you have the right idea but if you are going to extend towards the center, you want to do so from your widest base. The A, B sequence I mentioned before is still probably best.

Additionally, you can now see the value of having played that sequence earlier. If you had and white had invaded on the bottom like this, you'd still have a nice moyo.

At this point, I think white is slightly ahead.]LB[dl:A][dn:B]
;W[qc]WL[1371.004]

Considering what happened later on, I'm not sure if this is the right choice. Something around F15 looks big for both players now too....

BG: White is not alive in the upper right yet. So, you still have a few moves to make there. See sequence. But this is a good move, although I still prefer A.]LB[dl:A]
;W[nb]WL[1365.704]
;B[fe]BL[1027.433]C[...so I'm pleased that I can get it in before W does.

BG: As you find out, it's still not quite fixed. I think A might have been better.]LB[ld:A]

;B[fl]BL[839.87]C[This was another move I spent some time thinking about, debating whether to play this or E13 or E14. In the end I decided that both alternatives offered a similar development potential but this one also cut off the lone W stone and also lent some aid to the D6 group.

BG: I think you would be better off with A to develop the moyo on bottom. White has a lot more territory right now. So you need to be making moves that at least in part start creating territory for you in the center.]
