Life In 19x19

The one point jump just feels thin to me. It leaves a large weakness at n18.

I considered the extension. I didn't find any reasons not to play it. I kinda just felt like playing the hane.

It's complicated. I may make an SGF for variations that I'm thinking - this diagram thing is just not working for me....

This is really the only way to salvage this ... I really should have just extended.

I want to see black M14. Just for fun!

I expect white E or possibly D for a safer shape.

Variations after this move just look too good. I hope I'm not messing this up. However, it's fully possible that he made a huge blunder; I expected this crosscut to force white into life while I build influence and strengthen my stones.

This seems like a better fight for B. Albeit, I think it's better than what white actually played.

Hane at the head of two stones is natural. I'm aiming at this:

I can't believe that he's playing so many gote endgame sized moves. o.O
