Comment[This is probably better than the variation played. The temptation is to play around c14 to destroy white territory further, but defence is probably safer. The white upper right group can be expected to come under sever attack in the face of such black influence.]

Comment[Black has sente to save the B7C7 stones if he deems this important, or alternatively to play a big point such as K4. The lower left corner is not necessarily white's, so I think his lower left stones acan be said to be inefficient.]
