(;B[qe]LB[oc:A]C[I have seen this move recommended in Michael Redmond's recent book on the san ren sei opening. Catalin didn't like it, preferring the connection at A; see the alternative sequence. ]

;W[fq]
;B[le]LB[pn:A]C[Catalin had recommended this move in my previous lesson. However, here he would have preferred A or similar.]
;W[qn]LB[nq:A]TR[dp][fq]SQ[jp]C[A was better, to use the strong white stones to attack the marked black stone.]
;B[ql]LB[qo:A][jr:B]C[I chose this rather than A because I didn't want to make territory lower right, as White has a way in at B. But the pro said A would have been better, and that I should not be thinking so much about territory yet. In the event ...]
;W[on]C[... my opponent forced me to make territory in the lower right corner. Catalin said White's move was bad, giving me a target for attack.]

;B[lk]LB[qp:A]TR[nk][mn][on][qn]C[I played this to attack the shape of the marked stones. However, now was the moment to change strategy; I should close the corner at A, and leave the white group to find its own way out.]

;B[fc]LB[cj:A]TR[ob]C[Error in direction. I should just split the left side at A. I was trying unsuccessfully to find some use for the aji of the marked stone.]

;B[hq]LB[ic:A][cq:B]TR[qk][ll][ml][ol][pl][rl][qm][kn][mn][nn][on][qn]C[A mistake. A would be better. If I want to play down here, I should invade the corner at B. I regarded this move as sente against the corner, and so it was, but my lower side is not as large as it seems as it has too many holes, and the marked white group is so strong.]
