You have any ideas on how to invade/reduce the lower right? Where is your territory going to come from?

I don't have a choice here, but this attack is quite severe... gotta read carefully.

The bottom right just looks like it has a lot of aji. I haven't read it out very thoroughly, but my feeling is that it's smaller than it looks.

i am thinking he can not play that way. he is going into deeper hole...

I think this is the only way to play. The reading comes now.

to make sure to cover my weak point. something like below...
basicall it is a probe to make sure he answer at 1. later he will not anwer at 1 and play 'b'

Ok... from my reading... I don't think he can do anything to me here.

i will win this game convincingly this time to shut him up for good.....
edit: sorry for not commenting.
for what i have in my mind...i will reveal later..
i know Violence is not looking into my hidden..but i will have a piece of mind if i keep them secret till later.
it is that important.

Mmm.... I value these stones much more than those two stones. I can threaten to connect, or attack black.

... hehehe...

I think he made a mistake here. I have a good chance.

I'm going to read this out until my eyes bleed.

i am pretty sure that he think he has a chance to recover..i think not!
i took some time to read one level higher than he did.
i have set a trap for him. (i know how to set a trap also)
i am sure he will fall in because everything is going as i planned.

Attention: Highly Off-Topic!

There was a game on the Commodore 64 called 'Spy vs. Spy' where you could play those two guys from the MAD magazine with two Joysticks and set up traps and stuff for each other. Anyone old enough to remember that? Here's a little help for your memory in case you need it:

I think I remember there being an NES game, as well. I played much more NES than Commodore 64.

I am quite reluctant to post this for fear of one of the players accidentally opening the hidden text, but I do wonder whether they (one or both) realize that not all parts of the board are as settled as they seem.

i tried to save the stones but...it doesnt matter how i connect.. it leaves bad aji.
if i let him cut..at least i wont have aji to worry about on my territory (may be a little)
from what i read..he can not capture me cleanly so basically i am alive.
also i can protect my bottom by peeping in sente. this really attracted

two stone atari is my trap.
i am waiting for him to move that two stone because it is not a ladder.
but i will play even if it is not a ladder. i am thinking he will lose because he will give me big side and stablize all of my groups

My predection for next move by Violence. It connects underneath to the west or it cuts off some of the stones to its northwest. I haven't read deeply enough to know if it has enough liberties when it does.
