L10 is a bit annoying; because I can't eat it via ladder, I have to try and nullify it with this move. He can, of course, try to save it but I want to make that as painful as possible if he wants to go that route.

loons:
hum... i am not sure if your move is better or my move is better. but... your move appears to be weaker move of two. i am not saying that it is...but appears to be. (feeling) i am not worried about his points on the right at all. i have enough points myself.. all i want out of this is...a simplicity. i think i am lucky that he backed down and not attack me when he had a chance. for that he will not get any points in the middle. that is good enough for me to keep my lead. i will connect and connect..he will have to jump in my influence sometime to make it a game. if i am down..i do not miss that chance to attack. he did.

Weird, MW's 61 was the 61 that came to me instantly, but it's a move I'd have to think hard about before actually playing...

However, I think it's a bit of an overplay because if White escapes his stone with 'a', then I end up with 3 stones just chilling...the marked White stones will make the journey of escape somewhat painful as well. So I decided to just play simple and safe.

he still have to play one more move in the middle to remove aji.. i know that it is a net... but if i push as below..my thickness will multiply...which means more points..

Black getting sente to enter lower left seems to make it hard for white to win. I'm guessing Magicwand will try to kill it, but that seems rather unlikely, particularly given he generously gave black some central thickness to help out in the fight. If I were white I would have played c5 instead of m11 (m11 was a nice idea to overconcentrate, but far too early as Araban is obviously not stupid so did not answer timidly to swallow the stones above and give white the centre, but let white save the junk stones and made thickness himself). In fact I would probably c5 instead of n7, and leave n9 to fend for itself.

But in the game, after playing first and then you played at a rather than 1. Do you think a is better?. It seems a tad slow to me. You said black can't tenuki (but he did, and I agree with him) or you play at 1 to increase your influence, but doesn't that make a rather slow?

Uberdude :
i analyzied the board and decided that i am still ahead. that is why i choose to play a move that is simple and leave no complication. i value my thickness more than visible points. i read your review on our last game and disagreed on few points you made. it seems that you value points more than thickness. In this game i feel very comfortable on my position because i have more thickness that will yield points later.

We can expect this, right?
I feel like Magicwand will probably be able to help the triangled stones sufficiently and take sente, though I'm shaky on how that will go down- so Magicwand will possibly get his followup move at 'a'...
After which, how does black sufficiently reduce bottom? Or conversely, how big is right?
*Edit: Thinking about the weak groups on the left, while conventional wisdom is that adjacent weak groups sort-of-settle eachother, the actual result now may be board-defining (who lives on the left? How big? How much influence does who get where? Who's sente?

@Magicwand:
Sorry about the vague question; What sort of result are you expecting on the left, once it becomes settled?
is the move. If a, white has b 61 c sometime.
= tuniki
first and then 
you played at a rather than 1. Do you think a is better?. It seems a tad slow to me. You said black can't tenuki (but he did, and I agree with him) or you play at 1 to increase your influence, but doesn't that make a rather slow?
