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

I earned a lot of praise for this game. I'd just LOST a 6 stone game to Nishida, so this was my chance to prove that was just a fluke and I could beat a near pro level player with 6 stones.]

;B[hr]C[N\: This is a very good move]
;W[gr]
;B[hq]C[N\: This isn't so good ;) Better to leave the stone, it's served it's purpose and W can't take it anyway. 'a' is the next move]LB[gl:a]
;W[gq]
;B[mp]C[N\: Necessary now that h3 is played]
;W[il]
;B[hm]C[N\: Another good move]
;W[im]	;B[gk]	;W[bq]
;B[bp]C[N\: This is small. He emphasized that it was still a good move, just not very big at this stage. Should play 'a' immediately]LB[ij:a]
;W[nc]	;B[pf]	;W[df]	;B[fd]	;W[pm]
;B[qo]LB[mm:a][nm:b]C[N\: If this is an even game, black should probably seperate with 'a' or 'b', but since it's not this is fine since it avoid complications and aims to attack on a large scale

Az\: I was thinking the same thing]

;W[no]
;B[lm]C[N\: This is the right direction]
;W[pq]
;B[qq]LB[ol:a]C[N\: This isn't so big. 'a' is urgent since it makes the outside strong for a massive attack on white.]
;W[lr]	;B[kq]
;W[oq]LB[qr:a][ol:b]C[Az\: I almost played 'a', but this would allow white 'b'. N actually asked me to take the move back, since in his mind this was a teaching game. o8 is very important since white has a lot of heavy stones if I keep o8]TR[nl]

;B[ol]	;W[km]
;B[kn]C[N\: Very good]
;W[mn]	;B[ln]	;W[jn]	;B[ko]	;W[qr]	;B[cq]	;W[br]
;B[ij]C[N\: This was the best move of the game for black.]
;W[jj]	;B[ji]
;W[kj]C[N\: He regreted making this move (I guess you can make mistakes even when you're 8 dan). The white stones are too heavy, even if they survive this is good for me. In retrospect he felt he should have given up on these stones]
;B[ki]	;W[ii]	;B[ik]	;W[li]	;B[lj]
;W[kk]LB[ih:a][hi:b][gj:c]C[N\: B has many ways to defend here, B 'a', W 'b', B 'c' is the best, after which his stones are unconditionally dead and I have very little aji]
