Wow, looks like there's some interest in the game, given the number of observer's comments.

Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm35 Move 35 - Prisoners: B=0, W=0I'm thinking of playing this. It secures a nice corner, and he has to take gote if he wants to protect the right side. I'm also eyeing the cut at r6. He can't protect both of these, so his right is smaller than it appears.
Same here about the questions. Also, I'd like to hear an opinion on the style of my commentary. Should I go for more variations? Give some more explanations of basic concepts?

I don't like the approach at all. Black can simply just ignore it and invade the 3-3 straight away, his lower group is not in the slightest bit of danger, and if White really wants to undermine it by jumping under at the 2nd line, let him I say!
Also, I would play O3 at N3, and aim towards R4 to settle the corner completely for lots of territory. I think it is uncomfortable for Black to tenuki after N3, yet Black has no followups that are sente, giving White the opportunity to take the corner in a big way.
Both players are leaving crazy corner aji all over the place

Still thinking, gonna take some time on this move.
I'm not good with influence.
By my rough count, just looking at territory, B is ahead by +25. I have the 6.5 komi, but that means I need to catch up by at least 20 points or so in the middle game and end game.
I could close off the upper left weakness at S13, but it feels like that's not worth as much as it could be. R8 is still there for Black to attack with.
I could take R8 myself.
I could also tenuki again, but I'm not sure there's an area of the board that I can gain more points from.
Give me a bit of time to see if I can bring all my stones into sync.

that is a good move but!
i would play differently.
i think it is a perfect time to split that weak group.
if white use sente to take that big big point black might cover that weak point by expanding influence.
kind of like big vs urgent thing.
i guess it fits my aggresive style of playing.
i am not saying i am right but ...that is might thought.
