Sort of. Endgame calculations are a bit tedious (though I'm sure Bill Spight disagrees), and they're not easy, but you don't have to have any real knowledge of probability to be alright at them. I think The Intrepid is making it a bit harder than it has to be.

Now everything depends on what Magicwand does

people might wonder what i am doing...so i will explain..
my mistake was that i expected him to answer right side.
he tenukied and killed my aji and i still can not live..
yes my right group is dead.

i am not sure if my opponent knows that.

Center white group blocked...right?

So what's Magicwand's plan here? I suppose it is a do or die strategy!?

Resign very soon.

I think I almost made it , but must be careful

Obvious response

Not so hard to kill

if i knew he would play that move and let me live...i wouldnt have played all those move in the middle..
