;W[ff]C[After the game Tanaka kept claiming this was bad even though I knew it was ok. Annoying how some people get so persistent. According to Takisawa 7p this is fine]

;B[hd]C[Takisawa\: This is a fair 50-50 trade]

;W[eh]LB[fh:a]C[Could be 'a' instead, but he seemed to feel this was alright]

;B[ch]LB[hf:a][he:b][hh:c]C[White should play 'a' next to force 'b' and then jump to 'c'. 'a' is sente since white doesn't want to loose the eye. White could just play 'c' and aim at 'a' in the near future]

;B[lg]LB[kg:a]C[White should connect at 'a'.

What was I thinking? Of course I should have played 'a']
;W[ng]	;B[nf]	;W[mf]
;B[mg]LB[mh:a]C[White 'a' for the net]
;W[nh]	;B[kg]	;W[jf]	;B[jg]	;W[if]	;B[li]	;W[kd]	;B[je]	;W[jc]
;B[ic]LB[he:a][jb:b][kc:c]C['a' is the vital point, since it kills two eyes. The 'b'-'c' exchange is small after 'a'. Ko for life the group.

I considered 'a', but I didn't realize 'b'-'c' didn't make white unconditionally alive]

;W[qf]LB[pg:a]C[Big mistake I think. Better to play 'a' and give up the stones, though Takisawa didn't make it this far in the commentary. After this the game is hopeless for white. End 'o comments.]
