;W[qb]LB[pj:a][pi:b][me:c]C[When the marked stone is low B should extend to 'a' (or maybe 'b' for a handicap game to be conservative). Pressing with 'c' looked wrong, but I played it since it was familiar.]
;B[me]	;W[ld]	;B[le]	;W[kd]	;B[pj]	;W[qn]	;B[qo]	;W[pn]	;B[np]
;W[jo]LB[lp:a][hp:b][qq:c][cq:d]C[Me\: I knew if I played 'a' he would invade at 'c', if 'b' then at 'd' (B would get too much otherwise). So I played 'a' intending to give up the corner and attack the outside]
;B[lp]	;W[qq]
;B[rp]C[The best response]

;B[mo]C[Me\: I figured there was some bad aji this way, but since he had to end in gote (if he doesn't play 'a' he dies unconditionally), the cutting point didn't seem so bad]LB[pq:a]

;W[bq]C[Me\: Sente! It was worth the loss, B has excellent potential for his moyo, but he must act immediately]
;B[nj]	;W[lj]	;B[li]	;W[ki]	;B[mi]
;W[kh]LB[eh:a]C[B should play 'a' and the rest of the game will be a foregone conclusion. W even hinted he might have been forced to resign if B 'a'. In hindsight, it's so obvious... arg]
;B[jd]	;W[ml]	;B[nl]	;W[mm]	;B[nm]	;W[rd]	;B[re]	;W[rc]	;B[qf]	;W[mg]
;B[lg]	;W[lh]	;B[mh]	;W[lf]	;B[ng]
;W[gg]C[Me\: At first glance a little strange, at second glance, perfect. B has ways to reduce, but it is surprisingly difficult to break in after this move]

;B[dh]C[Me\: I thought I read this correct, but I didn't]
;W[dg]	;B[eg]
;W[ef]C[Me\: Soooo strong. *sigh*]
;B[df]	;W[cg]	;B[ff]	;W[eh]	;B[ee]	;W[fh]
;B[ce]LB[cf:a]C[This move seals the game in blacks favor. If B had played at 'a' the corner would still be invadable, this way B has solid profit in the corner. According to W this is the only move - it wasn't so obvious to me and took a bit of reading first ;)

I end up loosing, but if I hadn't done something stupid later, this is a for-sure win now]
;W[kb]	;B[jb]
;W[he]LB[hd:a][ie:b]C[B must play 'a'. I was slack in my reading and though I could get away with 'b'.]
;B[ie]	;W[hd]	;B[hf]	;W[gf]	;B[ge]
;W[gd]LB[if:a]C[B 'a' would be best, that way B could play the ko and threaten a very big reduction if he wins. Of course, B wouldn't have played this way if he had realized he couldn't win the capturing race unconditionally, but never mind that]

;W[cs]C[Further moves ommited, W wins by 7 points. B could have won this game if only not for that misread at the top.]
