(;SZ[19]AP[MultiGo:3.4.0]AB[pd][pj][pp][dp][dj][dd]C[Black\: Ryan Smith, 2-3 dan
White\: Nishida, 8 dan
Date\: 3-6-04
Handicap\: 6
Result\: W+15 or so (amazing)

I tried too have to prove I wasn't afraid of N and got into a lot of complicated fights with a much stronger player. Not very good go on my part, but it has some useful lessons and prove just how strong that guy really is.]

;W[df]LB[ef:a][ee:b]C[N\: 'a' is the most common, but 'b' is fine too]

;B[gg]LB[hf:a][gh:b]C[N\: Very bad, first big mistake. Should be 'a' and aim at 'b' next]
;W[fh]
;B[gi]C[Az\: What am I doing?? Obviously this is an overplay]
;W[gh]	;B[hh]
;W[fi]LB[hi:a]C[Az & N\: Should just play 'a' and let white go]
;B[gj]	;W[fj]	;B[gk]	;W[fk]
;B[fl]C[N\: All of this is overplaying (duh)]
;W[el]	;B[dl]	;W[gl]	;B[ij]	;W[fm]
;B[eb]C[N\: Correct move]
;W[fb]	;B[db]	;W[hb]

;B[oi]C[N\: The only move]
;W[ni]	;B[oh]
;W[qd]LB[qc:a][qe:b]C[N\: Black should play 'a' and keep the corner, since it's very big. Also, white is still going to have to struggle to make life for these stones. And finally, althogh I've read a number of books that talk about the variation inherent in 'b', I didn't have enough appreciation of their complexity - and I am playing someone 5+ stones stronger.]

;W[mh]LB[og:a]C[N\: Pushing with 'a' would be vular.

Az\: I didn't like the look of 'a' either]

;W[od]LB[pc:a][oc:b][ob:c]C[N\: q16 is absolutely vital. Black must defend at 'a'. White can play 'b', but after B 'c' W can't catch the stones]TR[pd]
