Ideally, I'd like to make a base and connect to my weak group in the center, but that seemed ambitious. I decided to settle for either connecting to the weak group or getting a base. Lizzie: The move you are looking for is A. It connects and put pressure on white's group. If white opts for a base on the bottom, you get a downward facing wall. If white runs like he should, you still have the option of making a base on the top.]LB[lg:A] ;W[lg]WL[471] ;B[gc]BL[382] ;W[fc]WL[469] ;B[jf]BL[368] ;W[je]WL[466] ;B[jd]BL[304] ;W[id]WL[596] ;B[ke]BL[179] ;W[ie]WL[592] ;B[kf]BL[178] ;W[jc]WL[586] ;B[kc]BL[160] ;W[kd]WL[584] ;B[jb]BL[147] ;W[jd]WL[582] ;B[lb]BL[140] ;W[mc]WL[577] ;B[lc]BL[137] ;W[hc]WL[576] ;B[kh]BL[68]C[BG: I got one eye.
