 Zaphodius 6d?: o17, o16 or n17 even

;W[qj]WL[3499]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: R8, of course

 gigago 6d : almost
]
;W[di]WL[3470]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: w R7 is huge
 Zaphodius 6d?: C17 is ok
 gigago 6d : yes, it seems b would have to exchange R8 for some w move on the right, then look elsewhere
 Zaphodius 6d?: B needs to steer W in the direction of the top - because that is relatively small
 Zaphodius 6d?: On the right, indeed, I can't imagine a more urgent move than B R8 or W R7
 gigago 6d : on the other hand, right now the L side is quickly becoming more important
 gigago 6d : of course the risk is, that w gets to R7 first
 Zaphodius 6d?: yes, sure
]
;B[ck]BL[3160]
;W[ho]WL[3419]C[
 gigago 6d : ah
]
;B[jp]BL[3137]
;W[qm]WL[3415]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: hmmm, H5 seems to be somewhat of a gift
 Zaphodius 6d?: B D4
 gigago 6d : yes - b's lower side becomes stronger + there's a cut at G5
 gigago 6d : then again, R7 is huge
 gigago 6d : b cannot answer locally now, that would mean a pure loss
 Zaphodius 6d?: yes - never ever answer!
 Zaphodius 6d?: That's an important lesson
 gigago 6d : well you can sometimes, but only if it's urgent
 Zaphodius 6d?: C17 etc is OK too
 gigago 6d : yes, b must stick to his plan and ignore the right side
 Zaphodius 6d?: In a way, the exchange of H5 for K4 indirectly strenghtens B's Lower Right corner
]
;B[fd]BL[2799]C[
 gigago 6d : yes, it makes a white invasion harder
 Zaphodius 6d?: F16 seems the wrong direction
 Zaphodius 6d?: I immediately want to attach at C15 now
 gigago 6d : the AI move would be to go for the profit first
 Zaphodius 6d?: The top is relatively small because W has a stone at N18
 Zaphodius 6d?: aha, ok
 gigago 6d : even w E 15 is not out of the question here
 Zaphodius 6d?: I am just commenting from the 'loose wrist'.
 Zaphodius 6d?: woah
 Zaphodius 6d?: I see
 gigago 6d : i mean, b can capture in a ladder buet he can't, can he?
 Zaphodius 6d?: It puts C9 in the wrong spot, I think
 Zaphodius 6d?: Even if he could, he wouldn;t
 gigago 6d : so there would be a fight, not necessarily good for b
]
;W[ce]WL[3189]C[
 gigago 6d : then H5 may even prove useful
 gigago 6d : ok, white goes for profit
 gigago 6d : but of course, this weakens D11

;B[dd]BL[2704]
;W[cd]WL[3185]
;B[cc]BL[2702]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: aha ok

 gigago 6d : however, w's corner is big and solid
 Zaphodius 6d?: hmmm. Zou Wit niet C18 op B17 hebben kunnen spelen - ik heb dat een jaar of 40 geleden eens gezien in een top prof partij.
 Zaphodius 6d?: oops, sry, dutch...
 Zaphodius 6d?: Well, at least, it's not double dutch.
 gigago 6d : yes, I would think of that too
 gigago 6d : change the direction and make b play on the upper side
]
;B[eg]BL[2568]C[
 gigago 6d : all the same, i fgeel this is ok for w
 Zaphodius 6d?: so instead of C18 play B17, C18, B18, D18 and W D14
 Zaphodius 6d?: E13????
 gigago 6d : especially after b E13 - this move does not exist!
 Zaphodius 6d?: Maybe it only loses 1-2 points according to AI , but I can;t even think of this move.
 gigago 6d : so much aji - e.g. w C13, b B14, w D13, b D14, w E12
 Zaphodius 6d?: Yes. When you attack, play in a solid way.
 Zaphodius 6d?: Maybe just play C7, just for the heck of it?
 gigago 6d : looks entirely possible, w is light all around
 Zaphodius 6d?: "seeing what happens' is often quite a good strategy
 Zaphodius 6d?: but of course, you must have some idea about the outcome
 gigago 6d : if necessary, w can be satisfied to just captur B15 as a bonus
 Zaphodius 6d?: yup
 Zaphodius 6d?: When strong players seem to play 'WTF' moves, they still have a reason.
]
;W[cm]WL[2798]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: and just like that...
 gigago 6d : yes, but it's like a war: most players have entirely wrong reasons
 Zaphodius 6d?: hahaha
 gigago 6d : then they end up paying in rubles
 Zaphodius 6d?: Hmmm, but the other side is paying in dead people.
 gigago 6d : this looks like a good way for w to settle the position
 gigago 6d : doing nothing is not an option for b now
 Zaphodius 6d?: I just did a meditation session with spoken guidance. The voice asked when was the last time you did nothing?
 gigago 6d : well, you can't remember by definition
 Zaphodius 6d?: ok, I wnna play E5
 Zaphodius 6d?: just to increase the scale of the fight.
 Zaphodius 6d?: The alternative is D6, I guess
]
;B[ek]BL[2238]C[
 gigago 6d : well, it's like the ancient Greek story: "if you sanction, a big empire will be destroyed"
]
;W[cp]WL[2770]
;B[do]BL[2229]C[
 gigago 6d : ok so this gets a little harder to judge
 Zaphodius 6d?: Who is making the rules?
]
;W[em]WL[2728]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: F5, without thinking
 gigago 6d : looks like the only way
 Zaphodius 6d?: I think it's a waste of time to even think about this
]
;B[fo]BL[2159]
;W[ep]WL[2722]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: E4????
 Zaphodius 6d?: not G4?
 gigago 6d : it's a waste of time to play Go
 gigago 6d : a fun waste, but a waste
 Zaphodius 6d?: That's true. But hey, how many truly good minutes do you have in a day?
 gigago 6d : well, w E4 does pose a problem
]
;B[eo]BL[2052]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: why?
 Zaphodius 6d?: I can't see how W could ever capture that B group
]
;W[gm]WL[2607]C[
 gigago 6d : no, but b will have to connect somehow
 gigago 6d : otoh, w's shape is not all that great either
 Zaphodius 6d?: e.g. G5, G4, H4,H6, B5 B4 and B7
 Zaphodius 6d?: after that W D8, C8, D9, D10
 Zaphodius 6d?: But Michiel is taking a lot of time
]
;B[bo]BL[1786]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: This is bad
 Zaphodius 6d?: Now W gets the vital point at G5
]

 gigago 6d : lol

 gigago 6d : sure, but - does it work
 Zaphodius 6d?: woah

 Zaphodius 6d?: why?
]
;B[an]BL[1495]C[
 gigago 6d : just w D7
 Zaphodius 6d?: that would make it into a ko
 gigago 6d : mmm
 Zaphodius 6d?: D4 I guess

 Zaphodius 6d?: multistep ko
 Zaphodius 6d?: not even

;W[jn]WL[1956]
;B[kl]BL[1187]
;W[ao]WL[1916]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: why playL8? Why play A5?
 gigago 6d : well b will have to block now
 gigago 6d : to make it worth his while
 Zaphodius 6d?: E8/D7 and G8, I guess
 Zaphodius 6d?: or E8, D7, L6
 Zaphodius 6d?: maybe E8 is not necessary
 gigago 6d : i thought just M6 would be perfect for w
 Zaphodius 6d?: ahh, yes
 gigago 6d : since that is sente against lower side
 Zaphodius 6d?: A5 is weird
]
;B[kd]BL[1049]C[
 gigago 6d : b L8 is sort of fraticidal move
 gigago 6d : well, w played a soft move, so b still has hope
]
;W[li]WL[1836]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: I canúnderstand L16 either
 gigago 6d : b Q9
 gigago 6d : cut off white at all cost
 Zaphodius 6d?: sounds like a good plan
 gigago 6d : there's no other way
 Zaphodius 6d?: I would play Q10
 gigago 6d : anything, but keep the pressure on
 Zaphodius 6d?: yes, cut and maim
 gigago 6d : defending is not good enough
 Zaphodius 6d?: I don;t understand where to defend
]
;B[oi]BL[876]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: He gets the idea.
 gigago 6d : apparently b agrees
]
;W[jk]WL[1794]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: I don;t wanna connect
]
;B[jl]BL[840]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: somehow resist
]
;W[lk]WL[1774]C[
 gigago 6d : yes but it's hard to find an effective move
 gigago 6d : b Q9 w R9 b Q7
 gigago 6d : go
 gigago 6d : just do it
]
;B[pk]BL[769]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: and he just did it
 gigago 6d : amen
 Zaphodius 6d?: But I wanna make use of e8/d7 and J6
]
;W[qk]WL[1699]C[
 gigago 6d : maybe he'l get a chance for that
 gigago 6d : but first isolate the main part
 Zaphodius 6d?: If Q8, W just cuts through
 gigago 6d : Q7 please
]
;B[jj]BL[689]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: oops, I meant IF Q7, W will cut through
]
;W[ke]WL[1691]C[
 gigago 6d : look, if b manages to completely block off the lower side, he''s also happy
 gigago 6d : ah, b kK10
 gigago 6d : too small
]
;B[je]BL[640]C[
 gigago 6d : frankly, w Q8 will now end the game
]
;W[jf]WL[1574]C[
 gigago 6d : ok, w picks another fight
]
;B[kf]BL[579]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: This loks like a bad fight for B
]
;W[le]WL[1547]
;B[ld]BL[578]C[
 TimeS 1d+: W not much cash, negative komi
 Zaphodius 6d?: N18 is at the right spot
]
;W[me]WL[1527]C[
 Zaphodius 6d?: and K15 etc. are all wasted moves, once W is alive
]
;B[mc]BL[487]C[
 gigago 6d : ok b seems to agree there's a problem
]
;W[nc]WL[1500]C[
 gigago 6d : otherwise one would never play a move like N17
]
;B[lb]BL[462]C[
 gigago 6d : oh white can cut now
 Zaphodius 6d?: But does he want to?
 Zaphodius 6d?: I would without any hesitation
 gigago 6d : well i'd almost say "why not
 gigago 6d : "
 gigago 6d : because then b has two more groups to look aftr
 Zaphodius 6d?: But, TBH, N16 would make N15 heavy

 Zaphodius 6d?: hmmm
 Zaphodius 6d?: W is consolidating
 gigago 6d : however, i agree that w J10 is huge
 gigago 6d : we're already looking at 10+ points for white in the center
]
