So white tries to cut off part of the black group in the hopes of chasing it towards the marked stones and recovering them that way. Most far reaching plans don't work out as nicely as this one did, it helps that black was a weaker player. Still, I'm proud that white actually planned out the fight that follows] ;W[co] ;B[cn] ;W[eo] ;B[do] ;W[en] ;B[em] ;W[dm] ;B[fm] ;W[gk] ;B[hm] ;W[er] ;B[ep] ;W[fo] ;B[dr] ;W[il] ;B[im] ;W[jl] ;B[hp] ;W[hq] ;B[iq] ;W[hr] ;B[jm] ;W[km] ;B[fl] ;W[fk] ;B[hl] ;W[hk] ;B[ek] ;W[dl] ;B[ej] ;W[kk] ;B[ck] ;W[bk]TR[fl][fm][fn][em][hl][hm][im][jm][hp][iq]LB[lj:a]C[Somewhere I missed a move in here, black almost made the marked stones live, but white got 'a' (and then killed the marked stones), ending things rather dramatically. In particular, note how white managed to get 'a' by starting a diversionary fight that built thickness. Black resigns about 20 moves later] )
