(;B[qf];W[qo]
C[This is the weak point of B's extension; it's aggressive and gives B a difficult choice. The stubborn response, in keeping with B's original idea of attacking with the marked stone, is the kosumi at A (see var).]

C[This is a more normal way of playing. It's not the way I would play but it's feasible, because the marked attacking move also works as a territorial move ]

C[I don't like B17; the W group is already alive, so it's not necessary to save this stone. See the variation to see how B can move quickly to develop the lower side moyo instead. ]

C[This is a fairly old joseki -- not as popular recently, I'm not sure why -- and now the game hinges on how much of a moyo W can get in the center. ]
;B[oc];W[fo];B[ci];W[ch];B[kr]
C[Black's being just a little greedy here, taking all of his territory before going into W's moyo. But it's understandable, because it's hard to find the right point to invade. ]
(;W[jk]LB[lo:A]
C[This is fairly straightforward but the problem is that it's one-purpose. I prefer a play at A, which both threatens the marked stones and expands the center.]

C[standard probing move, setting up B's next move];W[im];B[ji]
C[In some cases B will be looking at playing at A to connect up to B73]LB[jl:A]
;W[jn]LB[jl:A]
C[Protecting at A would be more effective at attacking the center stone]
TR[ji];B[hi]
C[Now the game is becoming difficult for W because B has sufficiently reduced W's moyo and maintains his territorial lead. So the only way for W to salvage a winnable game is to attack B's central group severely enough to activate the aji at the 3-3. "A" takes a long-term approach, hoping to take the game into a close endgame; B is a more aggressive, powerful move, playing with the hope to kill B's center but also to gain points by attacking (I would lean towards B myself); C is too defensive and just doesn't get enough territory to win the game.]
TR[qc]LB[mc:A][li:B][gj:C];W[gj];B[bo]
C[this is pretty big; W would like to ignore it and commence the attack on the center, but perhaps W misjudged the situation and thought he had enough territory.]
;W[bn];B[kd];W[kf];B[li]
C[Nice order of moves for B, taking the sides and then easily running away in the center.]
;W[kh];B[ki];W[lk];B[mg]
C[With W's chance to attack B's center group now gone, the game is heading toward the endgame and B has about a 10-point territoritorial lead. ]
;W[rf];B[re];W[pf];B[qg];W[pg];B[ph]
C[B can counter-attack now that the pressure on his center group has eased. ]
;W[oh];B[pi];W[oi];B[pj]
C[Now the tables have turned and it's W who's under attack. After this, B is in control of the game and takes a safe route to victory. No further comments]
