Hi Glummie,

:b16: Another option: Just turn at R16, W tiger's mouth S18, you atari S17, W connects, then you tenuki and take a big point.

:b20: Strange. Options: S14 (mentioned), R15, or tenuki.

:b22: Very slow, small, over-concentrated; almost a pass. Tenuki and take a big point.

:b24: Ditto.

:b26: Ditto.

( :b22:, :b24:, :b26: ) Follow-itis -- you follow :white: around like a lost puppy, missing the big picture.

:w27: W takes a big point. Compare this board to the :b16: variation where you could've taken this yourself.

:b32: Another option: F2 keima; you just want sente ASAP to tenuki.

:b38: Bad. The whole point of pushing up to :b36: is to Live in sente, then tenuki.

:b48: Misread ?

:b50: Misread/giving W many free points ( and your corner still dead shape ).

:b62: Fake-suji. Gote.

:w63: Cuts at F15. ( Your corner dying fast. )

:w67: F13 hane-block.

You tricked W. :) Your corner was dead shape.
