Magicwand is teaching me some go! We are having a 6 stone handicap game.

I recently lost
this Malkovich game against Dfan by resignation.

this is a teaching game. i will not hide my comment and i hope he doesnt hide his comment either.
this play 1 is a move my master love to play against me when i was about 1d kgs. i hated it.
whenever i had to give 6 stone i love to use this move.

Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$cMagicwand, I am going to post "hide" sections, but you are welcome to read them. My reason is so that chains of thinking diagrams won't break up the flow of the game too much for observers.
Here's what I wanted Magicwand to play;
$$Wc

But I guess it was not meant to be. With my current move, I am aiming at playing K3, so I gain a double-wing in the lower left (while helping the lower right). I also considered playing directly at K3 or at K16, but I would rather keep my local advantage against his R7 stone (Currently, though slightly loose it looks like 3 stones to 1)

I would like a sanrensei framework on top to help all my stones. Because R7 has to me the feeling of "Owing a move" I hope to still get K3 for myself also.

they are all better than what he played.
when you are ahead play every move simple.

Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$ci am not sure if his move is correct. but i wouldn't have play as he did.
if you are ahead you dont fight. you dont make it complicated.
all he has to do was split my two group then he can not go wrong playing 6 stone.
he is failing that basic concept now.

Imagine moving your M16 to Q14 now (so you extended instead of crosscutting, and now blocked the cut).
