At least it's better than attacking where I don't know the joseki hardly at all yet!];W[nq]WL[2621.412];B[np]BL[2648.839]C[Again, going to focus on moyo building, though I think the better move was probably to either ignor it for now and approach the upper right or to play a pincer of some sort. I was hoping my first game back after all that study I've been doing would NOT face dual 3-4's, so I was rattled. Probably a really bad move.];W[mp]WL[2566.44];B[no]BL[2640.27];W[oq]WL[2552.457];B[pq]BL[2636.075];W[jq]WL[2496.365]C[I think that's too wide? Should be a knight's connection at L3?];B[pn]BL[2556.842]C[I think that's joseki.];W[de]WL[2443.711]C[There we go! Now I have time to steal the big point from him and start my moyo idea up.];B[jd]BL[2492.034];W[dj]WL[2410.214];B[mo]BL[2429.116]C[I had some idea that I could build the moyo down here nicely given that his extension was too wide.];W[lp]WL[2392.197]C[I feel like I missed a chance somewhere, although N5 still feels good.];B[jj]BL[2347.446]C[moyo! moyo!];W[qc]WL[2345.068]C[This was a bit of a relief, and totally expected. I was worried about him sealing the bottom first, if he then got sente and played this invasion after. I think that'd have finished me right there.];B[pc]BL[2329.705];W[qd]WL[2343.225];B[qe]BL[2328.89];W[re]WL[2341.826];B[qf]BL[2323.294];W[rf]WL[2340.305];B[qg]BL[2317.712];W[pb]WL[2321.686];B[ob]BL[2314.516];W[qb]WL[2318.285];B[nc]BL[2307.833];W[lo]WL[2302.386]C[White gives me more chances to invade.];B[dn]BL[2266.615]C[I take it.

That moyo better turn into tighter territory for me, and soon.];B[im]BL[2171.579]C[I thought about something around N8 for this, or even E9. I was worried about his hane with support at m6 so close. I could have ended up steering him straight at the territory I'm trying to take for myself? Necessary? I don't know, it still feels like white missed an opportunity at J7, so I'd better play there if I can.];W[hc]WL[2203.099];B[ic]BL[2159.691];W[hd]WL[2186.631]C[My Moyo is firming up, his extension is narrow.];B[dh]BL[2152.741]C[Second part of my plan for D6 was to try to capture D10. It's a bad, bad idea. I have a nice thickness, but white can get out so easy, and I AM steering him toward my moyo.];W[ei]WL[2108.807];B[cf]BL[2110.782]C[Too late, I see the problems.

His misclick was worth a couple points, and would have cost him the game no matter what, I think. He's not resigning so I make the obvious move at M3...];B[lq]BL[89.43]C[Black wins on time.The white player and I have played many games together, and will no doubt play many more. Did I rob him of his game? Is a misclick under super heavy time pressure ever actually a "misclick" worthy of an undo? Is that just the nature of online go? You decide, I'm just going to take the win and run with it, because, hey, it was great to be playing again, and the level of Go we both played in this one was, I think, something we both should be proud of. The back and forth over a single point ... I knew it was close, but wow, it was really close!I still wonder about that move at 166. I had to leave before the discussion around it got finished.])
