Well, it looks like I was able to reduce white successfully. I made a mistake in not reducing earlier, so I suffered a bit, but I feel like I've recovered a bit.

I'm still ahead, and it's going to stay that way!

Give it your best shot, Magicwand. Even if it were an even game, I'd still win.

I've had enough, and I'm not going to lose.

If he makes a mistake, I'll exploit it. If he doesn't, I'll hang on to my lead.

He can give it his best shot, but I'm ready for anything he has in mind.

Why do I feel different now? I studied a lot yesterday. The past doesn't matter. I'm going to win, now.

I thought briefly about tenuki-ing, but he is touching my stone directly. It is a big difference locally to tenuki and let him push me around. So I want to respond to the stone that he touched me with.

Why did I choose this response? Because it threatens to push out along the left side more. On the right side, I already let white close me in on the side. I don't know if that was the best choice.

I won't let it happen here again.

I am going to keep my lead this game. Mark my words.

Fourth line is the line of success. Second line is the line of uber success!!

as i explined earlier i will get more thickness and give him sente in this variation.
influence is small in the beginning but when they start to grow...it grows expontentially.

There is no other (consistent) move. If I protect the atari the other way, white gets to force me, locally at least:

i dont think what i played is correct but i dont think Kerby can find a way to take an advantage of it.
i think it might rattle his patience and force him to an overplay.

Well, I have sente. I don't really understand Magicwand's last sequence. I think that it's missing the big picture. Magicwand's influence is already pretty great, so it seemed to me that he should have used it. I suppose it's a bit stronger now, but he gave me the opportunity to simply grab more territory.

I feel completely at ease with this game right now. Maybe he'll play something like K8 next. I'm not sure what's best, though.

I considered playing a large knight's enclosure, but it's not good because white can then play somewhere in the center and make one of my enclosures ineffective.
