;W[fq];B[eq];W[fp]C[
 cricket 4k*: god
 cricket 4k*: good I mean
]
;B[jm]C[
 cricket 4k*: D6 is normal.
 cricket 4k*: this is pretty high and away
 cricket 4k*: nothing wrong with it, but it has less of a direct effect on things
]
;W[do];B[co]C[
 cricket 4k*: D6 protects the side so I can't try and contain you like this
]
;W[dn];B[ce];W[cn];B[cp]C[
 cricket 4k*: you should live, but getting surrounded like this can cause u problems
]
;W[ep];B[er];W[dh];B[ci];W[fi];B[fk]C[
 cricket 4k*: yup
]
;W[ek];B[ej];W[fj];B[gk];W[el];B[cg];W[ch];B[bh];W[bg];B[bf];W[bi];B[ag]
;W[bj]C[
 cricket 4k*: need an undo?
 cricket 4k*: just type 'undo' if you do
]
;B[jg]C[
 cricket 4k*: what you could have done instead of playing b14
 cricket 4k*: is to just connect at B11
 cricket 4k*: then, I don't really catch c13 in a ladder
 cricket 4k*: ur doing fine tho
]
;W[qf];B[qe];W[pf];B[nd];W[ph];B[qj]C[
 cricket 4k*: good. R11 more common, but same idea.
]
;W[mg];B[nf];W[ni];B[og];W[oh];B[mk];W[nk];B[nl];W[ok];B[pl];W[ol];B[pm]
;W[mj]C[
 cricket 4k*: this is good to keep harassing white as long as you can
]
;B[lk]C[
 cricket 4k*: i probably should have walked away sooner to see if you would follow
 cricket 4k*: but if white does that, either he really can
 cricket 4k*: or he's luring you away
 cricket 4k*: if you can tell which, that is great
 cricket 4k*: especially if he's luring, then you go ahead and soc the group he left behind.
]
;W[ng];B[of]C[
 cricket 4k*: yeah, if I went elswhere. tenuki. Walk away
 cricket 4k*: But, I want to make sure I'm alive first.
]
;W[qc];B[qd]C[
 cricket 4k*: ur doing well though
 cricket 4k*: where'd u learn that!? very severe move
 cricket 4k*: s15 also good to threaten the lower group,
 cricket 4k*: this is hard on the corner.
]
;W[pb]C[
 cricket 4k*: actually, I forget how to handle this <blush>
]
;B[ob];W[oc];B[nb];W[nc];B[mc];W[rd];B[re];W[rb];B[pc];W[qa];B[sd]C[
 cricket 4k*: just from being so connected (those middle moves)
 cricket 4k*: I'm going to have real trouble in this game
 cricket 4k*: usually, white has to hack something off to catch up
 cricket 4k*: and now that is hard
]
;W[rc];B[pg];W[kg]C[
 cricket 4k*: gotta get wierd now
]
;B[ih];W[qq];B[qp];W[pq];B[nq];W[oq];B[op];W[nr];B[mq];W[mr];B[lr];W[lq]
;B[lp]C[
 cricket 4k*: that hane can be dangerous
 cricket 4k*: I'm only on 2nd line, so push me into your k4 stone safet
]
;W[kq]C[
 cricket 4k*: M2 bends around my 2 stones. called 'hane' in japanese
 cricket 4k*: it can get cut off like this
 cricket 4k*: but if you just push on with m3
]
;B[jq]C[
 cricket 4k*: then after L3 (if I keep pushing along low 2nd line)
 cricket 4k*: then you can hane with k2, and your cutting points are protected
]
;W[kr];B[jr];W[mp];B[np];W[kp];B[mo];W[ko];B[jo]C[
 cricket 4k*: good. exactly right
]
;W[kf];B[je];W[lj];B[qg];W[kk];B[kl];W[ml]C[
 cricket 4k*: connecting at N8 would probably have been best
 cricket 4k*: solid
 cricket 4k*: this was whole purpose of M10 for me.
 cricket 4k*: much easier to live now :)
]
;B[ll];W[nm];B[mm]C[
 cricket 4k*: good
]
;W[mn];B[lm];W[lo];B[ln];W[nn];B[no];W[jn];B[kn];W[ls];B[in]C[
 cricket 4k*: good
 cricket 4k*: I forgot that I was in atari (check)
 cricket 4k*: Or I wouldn't have moved there
 cricket 4k*: but capturing is best, else I'll cut
 cricket 4k*: that ruins one of my best catch-up chances :(

  cricket 4k*: pretty good. U still lead. i've not caught up yet
  cricket 4k*: getting close though,but you are doing well
]
