He felt that the correct idea was to play at 34 (B) instead, and then crosscut. I had planned to play 35' at A, which might have been reasonable, but for some reason I forget, I changed my mind and played the joseki up to 36, whose effect is to spoil my large scale formation - with this strong white group in the way it is very difficult to preserve my positions aganst deep invasions.

I was trying to keep the white group on this side weak so that Terry could not afford to invade on the other side.

There is no chance to kill the black group since it escapes easily up to 107, separating white into two groups neither of which has perfect eye shape. 84' at 101 (A) would force black to make eyes and leave the game close.

I needed to be absolutely sure about my centre group's connection before playing 129(B), which can easily become a weak group running out through a narrow gap between 34 and 76.
