;B[cm]
;W[pe]C[As usual we start out with 75% win chance for my opponent. This ELF network is insanely unforgiving of inaccuracies in the opening.]
;B[qp]
;W[qn]
;B[po]
;W[qq]
;B[pq]C[85% to black. LZ-ELF really like this move too, when there's an open corner left. I was pleasantly surprised, I have never seen any human play it before, but I knew already it is a good move.]
;W[pp]
(;B[qr]C[This move was a big mistake by Black though. It immediately loses 20%. It was also a surprise in the game and my immediate feeling was it can't possibly be good so I paused here to read. Perhaps he confused it with some other joseki unfamiliar to me because as I remember he played it rather quickly.]
;W[rq]
;B[rp]LB[qo:A]C[Another mistake, with two exchanges the win chance has reversed, and now it's 78% to white... Connecting at A instead was the only way to salvage the situation.]
;W[rr]
(;B[qo]
;W[oo]LB[no:D]LB[oo:B]LB[np:C]LB[oq:A]C[Slight mistake. White should just simply settle with A, this helps Black. I remember thinking the same in the game, my first instinct was just to play A, yet I daydreamed up stuff like B being sente for Black if I didn't take it, etc. But if Black pushes at B and I ignore, then hanes at C, White can just cut at D and have a decent fight.]
;B[pn]
;W[oq]
;B[qm]LB[qc:A]C[LZELF thinks Black doesn't have time for this and wants to play A. 94% to White *if* White makes a corner enclosure (which I of course won't).]
;W[iq]LB[qm:A]TR[gq]C[Of course I want to attack attack attack. Even though the marked stone is probably light and small at this point.

LZELF is going to think everything from A until a couple more moves are "mistakes," since apparently the area is not big enough compared to the corner in her mind.]
;B[go]C[Yes, even here LZELF would tenuki to close the corner. Jeez.]
;W[gn]
;B[ho]C[I guess the area has finally become 'big enough' that LZELF finally agrees to play locally.]
;W[cq]C[The move LZELF picks too. I am relieved, because I was very unsure about this one, thinking maybe there were stronger tactics or forcing moves I should take first.]
;B[bq]C[Now LZELF would play away to the corner again, instead of this... Sheesh.]
;W[dq]C[92% to White. Meaningless.]
;B[bo]
(;W[fn]C[I used to try to be super fancy about my cutting points but now I've started to play more and more solid connections... Here LZELF *is* super fancy though (see var).]
;B[jp]C[Still LZELF wants to go into the corner but this is OK too.]
;W[ip]C[White unreasonably brute forces complications. Down to 73% to White.]
;B[io]
;W[jo]
;B[kp]LB[hm:A]LB[kp:B]C[Both A and B seem possible, but the more LZELF thinks about it, the more she prefers to back away from the fight with A instead.]
;W[ko]
(;B[kr]C[This seems like a mistake but perhaps there weren't any good moves for Black... What LZELF wants to do is certainly insane.]
;W[jr]LB[gr:A]C[Going A directly is probably better.]
(;B[lp]LB[hm:A]LB[lo:C]LB[hq:B]C[LZELF would jump out with A or disconnect with B (after finally realizing the ladder at C doesn't work).]
;W[gr]
;B[hm]
;W[jm]LB[fr:A]LB[hr:B]C[I was a little nervous about the aji of Black A or B.]
(;B[im]
;W[fq]LB[lo:A]LB[hr:B]C[Now there's no shortage of liberties for Black and I feel I can't wait any longer... LZELF agrees with this move. 97% win chance for White.

I think that here is maybe what my opponent referred to after the game, that I "could have killed"...? I'm not sure. We didn't get a chance to talk or review, I was hungry and depressed. But if White A, then Black B and White is toasted.]
;B[lo]LB[mn:A]C[A possibly better/faster.]
;W[lm]LB[km:A]C[This was just silly. Rote shape. Rot shape. Should be A.]
(;B[mm]
;W[ml]
;B[nm]
(;W[gk]LB[kl:A]C[Weird direction? My idea was that I wanted Black to induce me to fix my shape, but it's also very dangerous... If Black gains strength he can do scary things with A.]
;B[ik]C[Puzzle: shape move for White here?]
(;W[jl]C[Certainly not this one! Look at how ugly this is... Ugh. I was very disappointed with myself how I handled this group. I'll even play a lot worse moves than this one.]
;B[hk]
;W[gj]
;B[hi]C[Another puzzle: try to think of a terrible, terrible move for White. Imagine White is 20 kyu. What would a 20 kyu play here?]
;W[mn]LB[ln:A]C[Yes! Pure perfection in awfulness. Have you ever seen such a bad move?

I wish it was an online tournament so I could say it was a mouse slip (White at A would have been good). But no, somehow I had forgotten that Black A was sente...I didn't realize A was sente, I thought the White stones had some extra liberty. I thought I was killing... ]
;B[ln]
;W[km]LB[qr:A]C[With this one move I have paid Black back for A with interest. Game is now roughly 50-50.]
;B[no]LB[nn:A]C[Black pities me and plays this instead of A. Or perhaps I have confused him so much with my terrible shape that he is starting to make his own.]
;W[on]
;B[nn]
;W[om]
;B[nl]
;W[kj]LB[mk:A]C[And the bad shape virus is still ravaging our brains... This should be at A.]

;B[ii]
;W[jg]LB[jg:B]LB[ji:A]C[I finally snapped out of it and played two moves in a row that are LZELF's picks.]
;B[fh]LB[fl:A]C[Would be better at A directly. ~60% for White. So pretty even.]
;W[ql]C[Don't ask, I don't know. Stupid move.]
;B[rl]
;W[ll]C[Another stupid move. I don't actually have anything here. I'm not sure what I'm doing.]
;B[nj]LB[li:A]C[LZELF would just punish by playing A directly.]
;W[ok]C[...

I don't even understand my own moves.]
(;B[nk]
;W[fc]LB[pc:B]LB[ol:A]C[I was worried about Black making a moyo in the upper right. LZELF is not worried and would play B. 65% chance for Black now, after White's stupid stuff around A. It will keep see-sawing because now we're back to the situation in the start, in that LZELF thinks all our moves are less than B.

(But *if* I had to approach this corner, LZELF thinks B would be better direction.)
]
;B[fl]C[Thick and strong? This is the only move that comes close in size to A, it seems. Well played by my opponent. It is the kind of move I would probably miss forever.]

The problem here was some loss of concentration. I couldn't even see simple shape, and I was keen to get B.

The marked stones were moves that proves I've still got plenty kyu blood in my veins.
