;W[cf]
;B[gc]C[This is passive from Black - more normal to play at C16, D15 or pincer at C12 - all put pressure on White locally.]
;W[cj]
;B[qf]
;W[nc]
;B[qn]C[O:Shouldn't Black try to develop the lower side, instead. Say:
O3, R6
K4

N: I think lower side would be OK too but not necessarily better.]
;W[nq]
;B[iq]C[O: Choosing between j3 and c7 for black, I think I would choose c7 as the upper left group is a bit weaker than the lower right group.
Would you agree?

N: Well, C8 would probably get a response from white (fearing C12 next), so if Black can keep sente he can play lower side also then. C17 is likely White response, but White will want to settle group quickly and grab sente if possible. 
M3 is more severe than J3 for Black to play - in the game White ignores J3.]
;W[cn]
;B[fp]C[F4 again is passive, for this Black would prefer stone at K3 or L3 rather than J3. Maybe attach at D6 or secure corner with B5 is better.]
;W[cq]C[White now takes the corner

O: It seems a tad bit early to me. c3 is going to damage the left side for white.
I would rather ply something like k17 as black playing L17 is very big.

N: My view is that there's no good move to immediately scure the laft side, and there's a chance now to take away the corner and leave the Black group overconcentrated here. It's a good exchange for White.]
;B[cp]
;W[bp]
;B[bo]
;W[bq]
;B[co]
;W[er]
;B[lq]C[Black should play F2 to finish corner sequence (keeps sente). G3 becomes large move for White later]
;W[qp]C[R4 more normally played at S4 (aims at R8 invasion next).]
;B[lc]C[O: That's a bit painful for white, no?

N: No it's fine, White secures more territory and threatens to invade at R12. Black has no real territory yet.]
;W[qd]C[Similarly S16 probably better.]
;B[le]C[Black begins to stake out a moyo at the top, but his stones at the bottom are not working well. White is ahead on territory.

O: I'm not sure M15 is a good move in this situation. I think black should focus on the left side now.
Something like C16 looks very big to me, aiming then at invading at C12.

N: I agree. In the game, White easily handles this potential moyo for Black. Perhaps D15 is an aoption for Black also, to be followed by M15.]
;W[he]
;B[ce]C[O: Not sure but this looks good for black. White is a bit worried as the corner is looking big. Extending at D14 doesn't look so great becase of B5...

N: D14 would be OK response for White. Problem for Black is that he ends up taking gote in the corner if he wants to really secure it (in the game he played tenuki and White got a lot of forcing moves). The White side is meanwhile getting stronger. Perhaps immediately invading at C12 is more interesting.]
;W[de]C[O: Cross cut?!? i.e. D14?

N: Yes interesting idea. Could get complicated. White may extend at E15 in response.]
;B[cd]
;W[df]C[O: F15 for black would be the most obvious to me, now.

N: F15 may be possible and nice idea. Black needs to apply maximum pressure to catch up.]
;B[dn]C[Could play F2 instead.]
;W[ec]C[O: White is happy now. Black F15 would have prevented this.]
;B[eb]
;W[gq]C[O: Is this not an overplay? Can black not answer at F2, theatening to cut G3 or capture the corner?

N: It is not easy for Black to cut off this stone. F2 gets F3 answer and there's no real cut. Best Black can do is connect on top with G4 - that's what I expected.]
;B[cm]C[This move is very slow. White now isolates the two Black stones on the lower side.]
;W[gp]
;B[on]
;W[kp]C[White tries to attack the Black stones here, but not very effective. Perhaps N5 first applies more pressure.]
;B[kq]
;W[ip]
;B[lp]
;W[ko]
;B[lo]
;W[kn]
;B[ln]
;W[pm]C[Probably not neccesary here - just play Q10]
;B[pn]
;W[pj]
;B[pi]
;W[oi]
;B[qi]
;W[oj]
;B[km]C[O: Weird... P14 is all good for white, now (aiming at J17).  A move like P13 looks better for me.]
;W[in]C[O: Why? 

N: Important for shape here. Keeps White strong in the centre to attack Black group to the left and support White stones on right side (aiming at cut M7).]
;B[oh]C[O: That's a good move for black now.]
;W[nh]
;B[og]C[Could be O13 to attack the White stones more.
O: Agreed. O13 looks more interesting for black.]
;W[kj]C[The game feels good for White now. White has more territory and isn't really in trouble anywhere.]
;B[ll]C[O: Maybe, black is better off connecting at S8 once and for all, no?
F15 seems big for both players.

N: Yes but M8 protects this cut and aims to attack White stones above.]
;W[mi]C[L 13 would be better and more efficient. I was worried about the peep at N11 but it can be answered at N10.]
;B[pl]C[Q8 is a small move - probably Black has no chance now.]

;W[jc]
;B[jb]C[Mistake. Black can play J16 and fight further here.]
;W[id]
;B[kc]
