Brief commentary by me]

;W[qp]	;B[dd]	;W[fq]	;B[dn]	;W[kq]	;B[jd]	;W[qf]
;B[qk]C[I don't think this is a good move. The power of the three stars is diminished if I get settled]
;W[qi]	;B[qn]	;W[po]	;B[pn]	;W[oo]	;B[oj]
;W[pk]LB[qj:a]C['a' was the correct answer. If he'd played 'a' I wasn't quite sure how I was going to followup, so I was glad he played as he did]
;B[pj]	;W[rk]	;B[qj]	;W[rj]	;B[nd]	;W[rd]	;B[qc]	;W[cf]
;B[fd]C[Another so-so move. I think a pincer at 'a' would be more natural]LB[cj:a]
;W[bd]	;B[cc]	;W[ci]
;B[rl]C[...Black passes]

;B[of]C[This was the mistake that cost black the two stone handicap. I don't know why he ignored g4. g4 is so thick it is almost slow, but he didn't notice the implications for the glaring cut at e6?

Strange to think I used to loose to this guy.]

;W[jl]C[I liked this move. If white played one space closer he can make contact responses. This way is just far enough out of reach he has to defend in gote]

;B[jk]C[Slow move. The position before this move was a little difficult for black, but after this I think black is definetly loosing.]
