You clearly misspoke. Did you not mean to say that you are completely winning and that your opponent is soon going to resign? A strange typographical error on your part.

Boo, hiss, I'd missed this. I thought the annoying aji was E3, but this is much more annoying. I have to be very careful about the right way to play this ko, but I simply cannot back down anywhere now.

You're quite right, I misjudged the position last move. My lead is clear now, magicwand's corner invasion is desperation, nothing more

i won this ko without any loss.
i should be ahead...but must becareful

Ok, I'm pleased. That ko was downright nasty. And now I have no way of being attacked in the center. The question is now points.

that trade will help me fight against the possible invasion.

Le sigh, really not feeling Go right now (did the stupid thing of starting too many OGS games ... again, and now rushing all my moves through burnout - but not wanting to have games sitting there as my move). Does anyone else do this regularly?

Yes. Then I alternate between playing too quickly, and stalling until the last minute, then usually playing too quickly then.

That seems rather submissive. Did you consider something like this?

Yo.

Seriously, I am not sure that turn based servers are all that good for me, because I probably play faster than I do playing in realtime.

Yeah, I considered that and the contact one above it. I decided against it because all I seem to do is put White's move on the perfect disrupting shape point, and it doesn't really help me vis-a-vis invading the left side. He already has enough aji there, so I'd rather just get thick and gain influence towards the right middle. Now I have the clamp and all the good local followups, and no bad aji to talk of. I'm hoping it's honte rather than slow, but as always, that's down to lines of reading that go beyond my event horizon.

hum.... my assessment:
points wise i am little behind but my influence will generate more than my point defict.
he connected middle group but still its life is unknown and possible to attack.
all my groups are solid exception of left side still has weak points but i have plans for that which i will discuss later.

I've wanted to aim at some of the defects he left with S12, so I'm hoping this line is a good way of doing things - this could turn into an interesting fight.
