]RE[W+Resign]
;B[pe]BL[59.11]C[Hmm. I'm kind of tired today, and I'm always afraid of an opening like Q15.
Ah well, let's see what happens.

;B[op]BL[46.818]
;W[dp]WL[49.476]
;B[fq]BL[44.791]C[I should just be patient. Nice and easy~]
;W[cn]WL[46.55]
;B[fo]BL[36.325]C[Interesting choice. I guess this threatens to make the bottom big. I could play L3, but J3 doesn't give me much space for "a base" at the bottom. I could play K3, but then M3 doesn't give me much of "a base", either.
So maybe it's not about getting a base. Maybe I should just split him a bit with K4. I can mark my influence there, and move on.]
;W[jp]WL[32.839]
;B[lq]BL[17.161]C[K2 is my territorial instinct, but what good does that do? I think the right side is kind of big. But R4 would be so nice for him. I'll take it first.]
;W[qp]WL[22.833]
;B[pn]BL[6.646]C[R6 seems natural, but it just helps him build up influence. I'll try to just grab territory quick and be on my way to better things. I'll try P3.]
;W[oq]WL[12.049]
;B[pq]BL[10]OB[3]C[Ah, he's cutting.. I don't know if I can survive this because of all of his stones. But I'm committed, now.]
;W[pp]WL[10.436]
;B[qq]BL[10]OB[3]C[S4 would be really bad for me, so I should help R4. Q6 is in a great spot. I think he's doing well so far.]

;B[rr]BL[10]OB[3]
;W[rp]WL[10]OW[3]
;B[or]BL[10]OB[3]C[Hmm. O3, O2... I guess I could O4, but then I need to save R4. Pretty much, this stone is dead. I'll play one more, and then R7 to help this group.

;B[gd]BL[10]OB[3]C[Hmm, interesting. I like his idea. He plays interestingly.]

;B[ll]BL[10]OB[2]C[Hmm, whew. This is not as big as Q17 IMO.]
;W[pc]WL[10]OW[2]C[OK, just make some territory here, then move on.]

I can exploit that, then maybe use the P15 atari to get some profit. Definitely can't Q14 or anything now. R14 is as good as dead, and I want to be able to get out with Q18.]

;B[jj]BL[10]OB[1]C[Hmm, tricky. I want to kill H17 somehow. K14 is rather weak, though. M12 is also weak. The L12 stones hurt this. I can't cut at K11, because then black uses that to force me and I lose K14.
Since black has captured Q13, M10 and M12 stones are not that important. Therefore, I should threaten L12 to strengthen K14, then come back to strike J17.]

;B[ji]BL[10]OB[1]
;W[he]WL[10]OW[2]C[(**Post-game thinking: This wasn't super. The idea was that black can cut at J13 between J12 and K14, so I could use this to capture the cutting stone. But of course, I cannot protect (variation).**)]

;B[fh]BL[10]OB[1]C[Hmm. H13? Well, he can G11 next. It'd be nice to move forward with a move like J11, but there's the problem with the cut at J13, I think.
Maybe I can push with G15 and give him shortage of liberties. Then if he tries to cut, I can utilize it to protect.
(**Post-game thinking: I really should try to actually read out sequences instead of thinking of strategic concepts that might or might not work.**)]

;B[fi]BL[10]OB[1]
;W[gi]WL[10]OW[2]C[Well, he can kill C13 maybe. I can't protect both groups. I guess I can at least get out with this, and maybe take K10.

;W[ko]WL[10]OW[2]
