PW[james]PB[ptitlou]C[I started this game knowing that James is really strong when he has a points lead, so I wanted to make sure i was using my black initiative to "rob" as much points as I could from him and go for a territory oriented start]

;B[de]C[As I said in the introduction, my plan was to prevent white from making too easy enclosures, preventing him from getting points and going for a fighting game]
;W[dh]C[James doesn't draw back from the fight and goes straight for a pincer.]
(;B[cj]C[i want to keep the initiative by playing lightly, reinforcing c5 stone and leaving d15 to its fate for now]
;W[cg]C[very interesting move, i had big doubts about the best sequence if i attach at c17, w can c16, i can also c14 or b15 to attack these stones if i become stronger on the bottom, that's why i decide to start with the bottom]
;B[gq]
;W[iq]C[i was surprised by this counter pincer as i have a strong position in bottom right, i thought w would reinforce the corner ]

;W[im]C[Shape is now very strange, lots of tobi-cutting possibilities, none of them seems to work for now, the fact that b can harass the corner for now seems to make this a positive result for b]

;W[ce]C[This might have been a bit greedy, even if ba cannot kill the corner, the fact that it can be reduced to barely two eyes is not a good outcome. Probabaly a move at b5 was big]
;B[er]
;W[eq]C[the first loosing move ? I think D2 was needed. If this shape is fixed now, then there is no sequence as the one in the game killin easily the corner]
;B[fr]
;W[dr]
;B[jn]C[not good.
<y idea here is clear, i have read that i can kill the corner but w can then play G4 and connect so i want to reinforce my tobi in sente, this doesn't seem to work though.J2 would have been better]
