;B[jp]C[I asked several times if this was alright since it didn't seem to work out so well for me, but he said several times it was alright and tried to keep the focus on several major mistakes.]

;W[er]LB[fr:a][eq:b]C[Black must play 'a' next.

I knew this, but I was afraid of the sequence shown in the variation. I thought by playing 'b' I would give up any chance of profit on the bottom but fix my shape in sente and turn to the outside. In the review he drilled in to me that 'a' provides stability for all the black stones in this part of the board.]
(;B[eq]	;W[fr]	;B[bh]	;W[bg]
;B[ho]LB[jl:a]C[Another mistake, this is too slow since it allows white to make shape and doesn't attack on a large enough scope. It may be a little tough for black to get a good attack going, but black should try with 'a']
;W[im]	;B[hn]	;W[kl]
;B[gl]LB[di:a]C[Again, slow. It seems to me that 'a' might have been better, but Takisawa did not comment on a better move]
;W[cj]	;B[ck]	;W[ci]	;B[di]
;W[bi]LB[bj:a][ch:b]C[Black should play 'a' next. This is a beautiful tesuji since it theatens 'b', so white must defend at 'b', making it a good forcing move to close the bottom in sente]

;B[lo]LB[oq:a][mp:b]C[Second very large mistake of the game. Black is trying to swallow the white stone whole, but white has too much room to maneuver and too much aji. Better to defend at 'a' and see how white responds. Black doesn't want to fall under attack, so 'a' is vital. He also suggested that 'b' might be playable, though inferior to 'a']
;W[pr]	;B[pq]	;W[qr]	;B[rq]	;W[rr]	;B[sr]	;W[lq]	;B[mp]	;W[mq]
;B[jd]C[This was atrocious reading. Black was trying for a ladder breaker but wasn't thinking straight. It is so embarissing to play this kind of thing against a professional, I was wasting his time. Hard to be calm enough to think clearly though.]

;W[ib]C[Black has no chance of winning the game at this point. When I asked him in the review if black had lost at this point he (politely) said yes. I tried to resign before the end but he seemed to want to play it out. Since blacks position is now difficult, end of comments.]

;B[qa]C[Further moves ommited. Black tried to resign but white urged the game on. White wins by 25 or so.]

;W[dq]C[I was afraid of this, but since white must play d3 in gote, black can attack the three white stones while they are heavy, so there is no risk to black]

;B[em]C[Takisawa sensei said that this was the strongest followup for black in this line of play (better than 'a'). I should have tried to read out the complications here instead of chickening out as I did in the game.]LB[en:a]
