(;B[pq]C[Black has various moves to choose from, including a hane or extension towards the right side (see var). In the game Black played the most common move, a hane underneath. ]
;W[qo];B[op];W[po];B[rp];W[qq]LB[ro:A][rq:B][oo:C]C[White 14 was a probe, asking if Black will curl at A as in the game, or capture at B. I recall that this cut used to be Leela's suggestion here, but in recent networks, White C seems to be getting better results. ]
;B[ro];W[qm];B[qr];W[of];B[nc];W[pi]LB[qj:A]C[While I felt satisfied to press at 20, Leela suggest White A to start a running fight, which also looks fine for White. ]
;B[fq]
(;W[rd]LB[fq:A]C[Black A was a ladder breaking move (see var), so I added a stone to the upper right. ]
;B[ph];W[oi];B[rf]
(;W[qe]C[White 26 was slack, and Leela suggested the good suji move, which is clearly better for White (see var). ]

[pj:C][ql:D]C[When White attacks at A, Black will be able to live on the side, while in some cases this will depend on a forcing move at A. If White attacks prematurely, White has weak points at C and D that will come into play. ]
;W[nk]
(;B[mf]C[Black 39 was an awkward shape, so I was not suprised to find that Leela suggested the good shape move for Black here (see var). ]
;W[ne];B[me];W[nd];B[md];W[oc];B[od];W[nb];B[mc];W[pc]
(;B[li]C[Keeping the pressure on, Black is hoping for some kind of a squeeze here. ]
(;W[lh]C[I avoid the potential squeeze (see var). When pushing at 50 I have the idea that a fight in the center should be favorable for White. ]
;B[nj];W[jh];B[lj];W[rl];B[rk]LB[qi:A][re:B]C[When covering at 55, Black is making use of the two forcing moves at A and B to create a living shape. ]
(;W[oo]C[Since 56 makes it easy for Black to surround the lower side on a large scale, this choice must come with the positional judgement that the fight in the center is supremely important, and I am good if I can 'win' this fight. In this case, my definition of 'winning the fight' can include the scenario of chasing Black's group with White's groups becoming strong, or can be Black sacrificing the stones in the center, as happened in the game. The variation for 56 shows what I would call the more natural move for White, which gives Black less on the lower side but is less forceful in the center when compared to the game.]
;B[no];W[nn];B[mo];W[mn];B[mb];W[qd]LB[oe:A][re:B]C[White 62 prevents Black A, finishing the capture of two Black stones. Black's group on the right needed a forcing move at B to have living shape, so by taking away that forcing move, White is threatening to kill Black on the right. ]

;B[na]LB[na:A]C[After the game, Takao commented that he had miscalculated the sitiation on the right. ]
;W[ih]LB[ri:A]C[While I can play at A to kill Black on the right, I am still very much focused on winning the fight in the center. Leela seems to agree with my judgement here, giving me a high winning percentage. ]
;B[ii];W[ki];B[eo];W[hm];B[do];W[ri]C[Finally I kill Black on the right. ];B[pj]
;W[oj];B[qi];W[ok]LB[sf:A][sh:B]C[If Black plays at A, White can kill with B. ]

[hk:B]C[In the sequence from A, I have created a cutting point at B. I will not hurry to cut here, as it is not sente. Instead, I will force Black to spend a move protecting this weakness. ]
;W[eh];B[cr]C[Black 121 is the most troublesome move here, but it is not very effective if White knows how to deal with it. ]
;W[dr];B[br];W[eq]LB[cq:A]C[It is vitally important for White to expand the space with 124, threatening to make an eye. When Black is attempting to make some kind of a ko in the corner, the exchange of 124 for Black A will give White opportunities to avoid ko and create a seki or living shape. ]
