;W[qr]TR[oo]C[This is one of the josekis available after playing the marked stone.]
;B[jd]LB[oq:A]C[This is considered larger than the knee-jerk move at A.]
;W[cp]C[My opponent thought long about this move. He obviously favours a territorial style, which should clash well with my moyo strategy.]
;B[cj]
;W[hc]LB[gd:A]C[Catalin suaggested A rather than this, as it is a low move which helps my influence-based strategy.]
;B[he]
;W[fc]C[One again, White takes a firm grip on territory.]
;B[md]LB[nd:A][cg:C][cm:B]C[Catalin said that A is rather better shape. B looks good, but it wasn't urgent because of the alternative move at C.]
;W[cl]
;B[cg]
;W[oq]C[Once again, firm territory.]
;B[mp]LB[lo:A]C[This is too small, and should be at A.]
;W[mq]
;B[lp]
;W[jk]
;B[lk]LB[qe:A][fp:B]TR[jk]C[I should not be defending territory here so soon. A and B were alternatives; the former if I want territory, the latter as a long range attack on the marked stone.]
;W[ji]
;B[li]
;W[rd]
;B[qe]LB[qd:A]C[I wasn't sure whether to play here or at A. Needless to say A was better, as White has to live in the corner; he cannot expect to live on the outside.]

;B[od]TR[pc][qc][rd][re]C[What do you consider to be the status of the marked stones now?]
;W[ce]TR[cg][cj]C[This is a huge move; not only does it defend territory, but also attacks the marked stones.]
;B[bp]C[This is yosu miru, to sound out White's reaction. Catalin said it was quite a good time to play it, as the choice of reply is difficult for White.]
;W[bo]
;B[jh]LB[gj:3][ij:1][jj:2][hm:5][jm:4]C[Bad. I am trying to increase my territory, but Catalin said that this is inconsistent with my general attacking strategy. He recommended continuing to attack the central stones with 1-5. I asked how to tell when to start turning my moyo into territory. "Never", came the reply.]

;W[bj]C[I looked at the alternative sequence, but it gives White too much territory upper left, and the marked group can still be attacked.]
