(;W[de]
C[SoDesuNe: I always feel uncomfortable with my opponent taking \
"secure" territory in the beginning, so I decided to approach \
here directly.
See variation for an opening I like very much for Black as much \
as I hate it for White.]

C[SoDesuNe:
I felt, playing out the Joseki and ending in Gote was too slow, \
so I took the corner first and when my opponent would decide \
to cut me, I'd approach his top right corner.]
WL[1731.265];B[qj]
C[SoDesuNe:
I don't know about this move. It's certainly okay, but personaly \
I think it's a bit slow. I would have either enclosed the top \
right corner and let White finish the Joseki, thus having two \
"secure" corners in Sente or approached the bottom right corner.]
BL[1714.59];W[oc]
C[SoDesuNe:
I like territory, that because I played the low Kakari. Maybe \
it would have been more consistent too play it high with my still \
to be established "influence"-group on the left side.
Furthermore, Black's attachment gave him exactly what he wanted \
with his R10-stone.
Overall, bad move by White.]

C[SoDesuNe:
Suboptimal play by Black. Here White gets a free forcing move \
to make his group more stable.
Black should just have extended to E14.]

C[SoDesuNe:
Perhaps I would have chosen a different Joseki for Black to form \
a huge Moyo on the right side.

C[SoDesuNe:
Tough decision here... or maybe not.
Bottom is just "huge" if Black cuts: at least 20 points of secure \
territory, combined with the top left corner I think White has \
to go all out to catch up.]

C[SoDesuNe:
I thought and still think this is huge, but I don't know about \
the timing.
I wanted to do something on the right, but I couldn't figure \
out how to use the cut at Q16 or at R14...]

I think this is very slow, especially because Black "pushed" \
the cut but didn't do it.]

C[SoDesuNe:
Very, very slow and even small move by White. Black's potential \
on the right is the important place, I think.
But I still don't know, how to begin there. Pushing from behind \
at O15 and forming a Moyo with H15?]

Attempt to reduce Black's potential in the center.]
WL[646.364];B[np]BL[1198.374];W[le]
C[SoDesuNe:
Risky. Black's attachment at N16 is dangerously but I think, \
White's two stones at P and Q17 had enough liberties.]

Rescuing the stone. Maybe not small, but slow. But I was out \
of ideas where to play.
Still very bad with Moyos ^^]
