C[A bad move that leaves Black with a small, cramped group.  He
is in danger of getting only about five points - not nearly enough
for the number of stones invested. <br> Also 13 does not effectively
restrain white 6; if White later develops this stone, he will
have effectively played on both sides of Black's scrunched up
group.  

The best move is to play on a larger scale by pressing down at
'A' (see joseki books for possible continuations).

C[Better is a pincer on the right hand side in order to break up
White's incipient position. After white 20 ('triangle') the black
group bottom right is ineffectual, with little useful scope for
expansion.  

It is important to try and make your stones work together; this
takes priority to following joseki.  
];W[rd];B[qc];W[qi];B[jq]
C[As both of White's positions top left and bottom right are strong
(white 14 and 8 / 12), perhaps the biggest move is an extension
from black 15 towards White's corner enclosure; then whichever
side White approaches black 1 from, Black can extend down the
other side.

C[Not good. First White strengthens Black (the 34-35 exchange),
then invades; also he chooses rather a poor point, since Black
can, if he wishes, connect his two stones, 15 and 35, by attaching
underneath white 36. This is a fundamental point about invasions;
the best invasions cut off enemy stones for a prospective future
attack.  Invasions which only aim at stealing territory are much
less attractive, and often not worth the premium that has to
be paid - ie a weak group to defend. In fact such invasions are
not proper invasions at all; in a sense they are just very deep
erasing moves. However, Black fails to respond with adequate
vigour.

C[This only helps White. the most severe reply is 'B', to try and
shut white in. With 35 already in place, this move sets White
problems. Black 39 is also passive, better is 45 or even 41.
Worst of all is 43, which is purely defensive, and takes all
pressure off White.

C[Note how black 45 is now superfluous and Black has made an empty
triangle. In the sequence up to 54 White succeeds in running
away, and even has time to play 52, reinforcing the top. Black
is now behind.

C[White 58 & 60: Emboldened by his success at the top, White sets
about rubbishing Black's only other major territory - once again
after Black has strengthened it. A policy not recommended.

C[Over-egging the cake. White must forget the tail of his group
and get out into the centre by connecting at 68.  

];B[hr]
C[Black loses the thread slightly. What he should be thinking of
is engineering a splitting attack on White's two weak groups,
not picking up a couple of unimportant stones. It is important
that Black get out ahead of White into the centre. Even if White
manages to scrape two eyes or fashion a connection to the group
to the right Black will then be  able to fall upon the other
weak White group at the top. He would then have a chance of winning.

C[Not the best way to attack this group. In such situations it
is usually advisable to think on a larger scale. Black 'D' is
suggested.

C[Having failed to find effective sequences against White's weak
groups, Black makes his last fling; he has to devastate White's
corner to have any chance.  
];W[hd];B[fd];W[fe]
C[An odd move, which seems designed solely to fashion a connection.
If White wants to fight here, the best move is 115 (A); if he
wants to connect (which he can afford, being far ahead), then
96' could have been played above 95 (at B).

C[107: An overplay. In the sequence to 117 Black succeeds in making
a fair-sizes dent in White's top left territory; White has given
ground, but avoided major damage.  

A count at this stage shows that Black is about 15 points behind.
However White, after 116, has a few weaknesses. Black's last
chance therefore was to extend at 116 himself. This fight looks
risky, but at least creates complications and could provoke White
into an error. Black 117 is also on the cautious side, since
Black's centre group can connect to the top right. After white
118 he has no chance. White conducts the yose in workmanlike
fashion; note how he keeps sente with 146 and 152.
