Well, let the invasion begin. I think his keima was a bad move. After he lives up top, I will be able to cut that group in two.

Just to add a bit more: I have a moyo. It is wrong to try to turn it into territory. At this point, I think, it is too big if he just tries to reduce from the outside, so he must invade. The intent behind my move was to remove a weakness. I have no intention of killing an invasion, but with the right attack I should be able to gain a good amount of profit.

Indeed I did. I looked at a bunch of moves like that as I showed in one of my post-move comments. It is probably what I would have played in a real-time game. However, I thought I might make my moyo as large as possible by cleaning up the weakness directly then profit when he invades. Hopefully, I'd have sente and could invade his left side.

I actually considered not playing on the top at this point just because it seems like black wants to play at the top. I didn't see anything that was worth letting him reinforce again.

I was expecting black to play at this point himself since it feels like it's an important point, I guess he was too worried about an invasion being able to connect under his wall though. Since he blocked that off he's got to be planning to attack me now.

The reason I played high here is because I'm not concerned about making a base on top. With the strength of the black wall to the left it seems like it would be easy for black to take my base away even if I did make one. It would also be possible for him to keep me low like he did on the right which I don't want.

I'm expecting black to either take a big point on the bottom, invade/reduce the left side or approach my newly played stone on the top from the right. I'd expect him to approach from the right because he would want me to play near his wall, pushing me toward where he's strong.

Not crazy about white's latest. I understand he's trying to reduce, but it seems to single purpose, and I feel like it's just begging to be smashed. White seems to expect black to come from the right, but I would play like this:

This isn't perfect for black since the corner has a bit of an open skirt, but white get's cramped, and if white now spend another move the center/bottom area gets really big. As white, I would prefer to do something like this:

This seems better for white. If black pincers instead, who knows? Regardless, it seems like a tough position for white to me.

I just saw that you moved. I'll have to think a bit as it was not what I was expecting. Hmm... (and other thinking noises follow)

This feels like the right way to play to make a base here. I want to get sente and play at 'a' (maybe 'b').

So my initial plan was to surround him then work on building a large center by harassing his group on the right which has some weakness, but I don't really like any of the variations I saw. I also have the feeling that playing that way poorly utilizes my thickness. I feel that my capping move is still a good move to harass white's position on the top so going for a straight out attack is still reasonable and not terribly inconsistent with my capping move. Honestly, his fourth line move here was kind of odd (possibly greedy) so I will try to punish it.

Have to block. Either he'll have a live/connect out gaining a few points and I'll get a strong position in the center ruining his chances of making territory there, or I'll be able to settle myself more easily by capturing some stones. I don't think his placement was a good move at this point in time.

I need to see how he replies to this before I make any plans for this area. I might sac these two stones to build a thick corner then I can go back to building a center. One of my concerns with kicking his stone then going to close the center was that my corner really need another move or else it may die. His group is going to live no matter what, so that's not my concern. He will either block again or extend at the stone I just bumped.

As always there are more possibilities and my opponent could come up with something completely unexpected or could tenuki. In any case I can't ignore his last move and I think blocking and trying to stay connected is my best option.

This is my plan, but I want to think about it a bit. I build a thick corner so I don't need to worry about it. Then I switch to the center. He will probably jump into it around (a) then I will build some potential on the bottom by pushing at (b) and threatening to cut at (c).Also, I still have aji with (d) and (e).

How does everyone feel about the game? I think it's going okay even though I still have little territory. I feel that I will keep creating large areas forcing him to do something about them and I'll gain on him little by little.
