;C[I'm taking a bit of a chance here. I'm hoping he'll treat this as sente, then I can defend the bottom right in sente, before I carry on at the bottom. My theory is that a double approach on the 4-4 is more severe than on the 3-4 because of the possibility of the 3-3]W[cf]
(
;B[ch]C[I definitely wasn't expecting this response - I think E15, D14, F16, or even C17 are better. Or trying to get the initiative in the bottom right before switching back to the top left...

RoseDuke\: This is unusual. Normally a diagonal move to 5.5 is necessary. ]

;B[jp]C[With the hanging connection this should be further, (and probably on the 3rd line?) - say J3. Problem with the 3rd line is that his whole position on the bottom ends too low. So I feel the hanging connection was questionable.

Question\: should I peep at O5 sometime soon, since I can't cut there directly anyway - the kikashi gives me extra influence, but will/should he answer?

RoseDuke\: This move off the main target, in addition, the co-ordination is not good.]
;C[Lock black in with 5.5 is better than enter 3.3 in this situation. ]W[cc]

;B[df]C[A bit of a slack move again, I feel - see variation.]

;B[ce]TR[cf]C[Now White is happy at the top, and the triangled stone still has plenty of aji.]
;C[Black wants me to invade here, but I can't see White solidifying enough in 2 moves if White plays elsewhere, Black defends here, and White gets another move. A successful invasion by Black then could put him in a winning position.]W[do]

;C[Perhaps I should rather spend this move defending my weak group...but what move?

RoseDuke\:  This is almost a pass move in mid-game.  White does not have the time to allow black play again at bottum side.  ]W[ed]
;B[cm]C[RoseDuke\: This is a bad way to attack, as a result, it allow white split black by extend to 2nd line. ]
;C[Perhaps an overplay...]W[bn]

RoseDuke\:  This is the passive way to live.  ]W[bm]
(
;B[bk]
;C[RoseDuke\: Despite serious mistakes at bottum side, white is still better as now there is not many potential for black to extend his territory, while white's dominance in the rest of board will help white build up his lead.  If white does not play too bad thereafter, white should win the game. ]W[ff]
