Hello, this game escalated into a one-point jump fest towards the center pretty quickly, but I had no idea how to handle the situation properly and ended up losing by time. Would anyone be so kind to tell me what I did wrong? (aside from reading errors of course)

I have some question about :w8:

. Because it is so close, Black can put pressure on it.

:w16:

does not look good. All you are doing is running. (Jowa says, Don't run.

)

makes

look good. If you simply give :w8:

up,

looks silly, doesn't it?

Now is the time to make shape in the center. You cannot afford just to let Black keep attacking your group. Attach at K-14. The White group on the left side is fine.

K-12. Same idea.

Ok, thanks. I was thinking about just giving up my pincer stone, but I was afraid it would be too big a loss. Must stop thinking losing a single stone isn't always such a big deal.

Just wanted to say thanks to ShinLyuu and Bill S. I have got into a similar one-point
jump fest where neither side knew how to stop, so it was good to see the question
and answers in this thread.
