if Black fails to respond to 
. However, I decided to wait with this move. It will still be there after I'm done with Black's top group. In addition to this, if uranther tries to run with his top group, I may very well end up playing 
stone saves 
(the move in the game), as well, but the move nets me a few more points than O15 does. That said, O15 leads to more complicated variations. Therefore, if I were behind in the game and needed to kill something big to win, I would play O15. However, overplays are not required here.

... Ahm.
here makes me so upset as White that I'd never give it a second thought .. in fact, it seems so clearly bad straight away that I would never spend the time to think through any further continuations. I wonder how much of our strength is simply determined by our ability to quickly weed out the clearly bad ideas in a real game - it has less impact in a Malkovich game, but I'm sure if a professional could see my brain's processing over the course of the game, he'd summarise with something like "You had 30 minutes thinking time in this game, but you spent 29 minutes just thinking about complete nonsense - this is why you are weak".
.
This suggests I might have missed something in the past or am missing something in the current position. Of course, it could also be that topazg simply decided to share with the observers a Youtube video of his cat, or something, and did not comment on the game at all. By the way, if I was induced into reviewing the entire game because of a cat video, the cat better be super spectacular--jumping through hoops, playing the piano, and saying "I love you" all at once. Just saying...

and has to play at "a" to try to kill Black. Otherwise, Black can live with "b."
, White can play at "a," so Black should probably play at "b" instead. This oversight is inexplicable to me because I noticed it instantly during review. That just goes to show that Go analysis follows the chess-analysis tautology: the longer the lines, the more numerous the mistakes. However, what's truly unfortunate about this error is that it prevented me from considering a play at O9 instead of 
. Let's take a look at what could have happened:
(post #24), Black had a way to save his bottom group as follows:
move in the game, uranther ought to be able to save his group, but he has many options to choose from--and, therefore, many ways to go wrong. He could end coughing up a bunch of points along the way. It should be fun! 
Awesome! I did see the possibility of the monkey jump and the fact that the jump reduces the eye-space of my top group. However, having played K13 on move 
, my group does not need to live locally any more--it can run, if need be. Therefore, if we end up in a situation where his group does not have two eyes and is disconnected from the outside, I will win even if my group does not have two eyes either. I'll do some more reading before posting my next move. Assuming the reading I did previously was not flawed, I should be able to kill much (if not all) of uranther's group with the following move (or some other such move which denies Black group's access to the center):
