;B[ll]C[A fight starts now between the two big groups.]
;W[mm]
;B[kl]
;W[mh]
;B[nh]
;W[jk]
;B[ln]C[Both sides are playing strongest moves they can to put pressure on the other stones.]
;W[om]
;B[ol]C[Black takes key shape point.]
;W[pm]C[But White is happy to play this move.]
;B[lb]C[Black exploits aji here to connect his group across top edge.]
;W[kb]
;B[ld]
;W[kd]
;B[kc]
;W[le]
;B[mb]
;W[jn]C[White now attacks the weak central Black stones - this should strengthen White's central group and secure bottom corner territory. This is a tough fight here.]
;B[im]
;W[jm]
;B[jl]
;W[il]
;B[kn]
;W[jo]C[I thought about this move the longest time in this game (20+mins). This K5 is most uncompromising attacking move - other option is the secure connection at J9 which also stops any cut through L9, but Black would then play K5.]
;B[mn]
;W[nn]
;B[lp]
;W[kp]
;B[kq]
;W[mp]C[Again this is the strongest possible move, exploiting the weak shape of the Black stones.]
;B[lq]
;W[jq]
;B[jr]
;W[ir]
(;B[lm]C[This is very well timed to prevent White capturing some of the Black stones through shortage of liberties. e.g. side diagram shown here.]
;W[nm]
;B[kr]C[I expected Black to cut J3 and I was prepared to play ko then, but he chose to connect L2 and secure life on the lower edge.]

;W[ik]C[White is now strong in the centre of the board and has two large corners on right side (with R9 move very large for later). Black has no territory yet.]
;B[hm]C[Black rescues this stone to maintain attacking options.]

;B[jd]C[Perhaps Black should ignore J16 for now and attcak lower White group with F2 or H5, but White has forcing sequences at top to seal Black in there.]

;B[cl]
;W[cc]
;B[cb]
;W[cd]
;B[bb]
;W[cg]
;B[ff]
;W[eg]C[White has now settled stones here and is well ahead unless Black can create a real attack in the centre somehow.]
;B[bi]
;W[ge]
;B[ef]
;W[df]
;B[gh]C[Seems an overplay for Black - White can cut off this stone.]

;W[eo]
;B[fm]
;W[en]

;W[gn]C[White could cut at B8 to cut off B11 two stones, but could be some risk to lower group, so instead defends at G6 to be sure of no problems.]

;W[qh]C[White is now firmly ahead.]
