Just know that this game is simply amazing ! If you like strategy game like chess, it's even a better game, simpler but deeper.

Now, back to the game !
I started as black (again :p) and I make the beginning of a Chinese as he took two 3-4 corners.
Then I approached high his left corner and I was super happy to make this joseki which gives me a stone on K4. This is a stone you want to have when you have a Q3 stone in the down right corner. as you can see, after that he approached high as well my corner.
After a little joseki, I was happy to play a big move that my opponent also wanted to play.
Thing gets messy when he attacked my formation, I didn't really know what to do and I got cut off.However, I wasn't worried for my left group as I can either live by playing E2 or get out by playing F6.
We did another joseki (or I think it is) on the upper left side and he annoyed me very much with his move on R10. I was wondering what to do at this point and I took my time to think about it. I finally choose to let him live in exchange for a big strong wall which will go very well with my stone on K10.
This is how the sequence ends and I played K13 in order to create a big moyo !
There, I messed up a little by giving a huge corner to my opponent :/
After that mistake, we fight a little as he was trying to get out with his upper left group. He managed to do so, better than I expected but I ended up very strong. Then, I fix my weekness with P9. After that move, a huge fight appeared as he was trying to live inside my moyo.
It ended up with my move on O12 giving him no chance to live whatsoever.
After some endgame move, my opponent resigned. Still, I wasn't winning by so much point, he had a huge corner in the bottom left side. I checked it and it was estimated that I was winning by 25 points.
