Brief commentary by me]

;W[qp]	;B[dd]	;W[fq]	;B[ip]	;W[fo]	;B[cn]
;W[lp]C[Wasn't sure if this would really develope the way I wanted, but this is the one area of the board where I have some support, 'a'-'c' just seemed too submissive]LB[dr:a][cq:b][ir:c]
;B[in]	;W[fm]	;B[il]	;W[cm]	;B[en]	;W[em]	;B[fn]	;W[gn]	;B[eo]	;W[go]
;B[dm]	;W[dl]	;B[dn]	;W[hm]	;B[im]	;W[ek]	;B[cl]	;W[ck]
;B[bm]C[I suppose I should have played 'a' and aimed at 'b' next, but 'c' seemed too good. In a number of joseki this shape comes up and 'c' is always a must, so I'm still not sure if it was bad here]LB[pj:a][ij:b][bl:c]
;W[bl]
;B[bk]C[I didn't think he would actually fight the ko *now*. I assumed black would tenuki, probably to play something like 'a']LB[np:a]
;W[cm]	;B[gl]	;W[gm]	;B[cl]	;W[jo]	;B[io]	;W[cm]
;B[fp]C[I was really tempted to ignore this since I could invade the corner later, but it would allow him to make his group strong. I was trying not to think about what would happen if I lost the ko]
;W[gp]	;B[cl]
;W[ij]C[No more real ko threats on the board, but this looked like it could cause fairly prolonged agony since he has no way to settle easily if W gets two moves here]
;B[al]	;W[kk]	;B[lm]
;W[km]LB[mk:a]C[This was a mistake. 'a' is correct I think]
;B[kn]	;W[ll]	;B[ko]	;W[kp]
;B[mo]LB[jp:a]C[Black should cut at 'a' I think. White's attack if fairly weak after that]
;W[jp]	;B[jn]
;W[np]LB[mp:a]C[VERY BAD! I must play 'a', the liberty at X prevents an immediate collapse, but it makes it his sente, which gets a lot of use out of later]MA[lo]

;B[mp]	;W[mq]
;B[nm]C[I thought this was a mistake, but it was actually a good use of white's aji]
;W[mm]
;B[mn]C[W should play 'a' next... what was I doing?]LB[ml:a]
;W[ln]	;B[lo]
;W[nl]LB[nq:a]C[If B 'a' white's shape would collapse]
;B[om]	;W[ol]
;B[no]C[The mother of all "thank you" moves. White gets to fix the aji this way]
;W[op]	;B[pm]	;W[pl]	;B[oo]	;W[pp]	;B[jr]	;W[kr]	;B[jq]	;W[kq]	;B[hq]
;W[ep]LB[pf:a]C[This was a mistake. I don't know why I assumed it was sente, but it wasn't. W should have played 'a', this way in game I loose my extension. Arg]

;B[pe]	;W[pb]	;B[ob]	;W[qb]	;B[oc]
;W[rf]LB[qf:a]C[B 'a' is correct next in this case (I think)]
;B[rg]	;W[qf]	;B[qg]	;W[pf]	;B[of]
;W[og]C[After the disaster of the ko in the beginning, white is now doing well. I think the game is about even]
;B[qj]	;W[ql]	;B[rk]	;W[rl]	;B[oi]	;W[ng]	;B[mi]	;W[lg]	;B[ki]	;W[jh]
;B[ri]C[I expected black to cut first to save some self-respect.]

;B[od]C[Sadly he survived, but white is very thick now and can cut off the marked stone (a big yose move). White was fairly confident by this point that he was going to win]TR[lc]
;W[cc]	;B[cd]	;W[eb]	;B[db]	;W[fb]	;B[cb]	;W[dg]	;B[cj]	;W[cg]
;B[dk]TR[cg][dg]C[This isn't so big now that white has the stones I think]

;W[qn]	;B[qm]	;W[rm]	;B[jj]	;W[ik]	;B[jk]	;W[hg]	;B[if]
;W[lj]C[Massive lack of clear reading. Just terrible for white. White can afford to give those stones up, white shouldn't loose extra points though.]

;B[sf]C[Final mistake for black\: he thought this was sente, but it ends in gote.

End of comments.]
