My thoughts on the game combined with Mingjiu's commentary:

The marked exchange is pretty bad for white. I think my approach was reckless. Taking the corner is better.

Mingjiu recommends this sequence, to attack both sides.

I should hane first, allowing black to get 6 is too big, according to Mingjiu.

Mingjiu: Black should finish the joseki. Playing at a is small. Conversely, however, I should hane instead, since you played that knight's move, the hane is much better than the knight jump I made.

This plan isn't necessarily overplay, but the fighting will be hard for both sides.

This was a huge mistake too. If I play here, it's much much better for white. I misread, thinking that I could capture if I extended.

I misread this sequence, I forgot you had 6 until I play this out. From there, I think any winning chances I had go down the drain.

All in all, I think I played really recklessly this game, but I don't really think we're far apart at all in strength. I think I can beat you if I played more calmly. This kind of overaggression is usually what I use to destroy KGS 1-3d, so you're a much more balanced player than I first thought.

Best of three, switch colors, continue with even games?

Congratulations, Magicwand! Very curious to see a revenge game.

Violence, you might want to edit your last diagram to switch black/white.

This observer wants to see it.

I found the Phil Hellmuth comment hilarious, but Magicwand did win. I would be happy to see another game.
