Interesting, looks like a mistake in my reading here. This is alive now I think .... ouch!

EDIT: Actually, maybe not... this is complicated. I hadn't read S12+S10 properly though

I think this will probably live. It is hard to say for sure, since it looks like W can deny Black local life, but it turns into a dangerous situation in the corner after I cut at "a". At the very ;east I think I can expect a ko.

Hmmm...this one looks done.


@Topazg:
Did you have this read out all the way to the end when you connected at L16?

@Joaz+Obs:

Sorry about this, you did ask :lol:

Basically, when I chose to cut at L14, I had to read it to the end. The cost of playing that move if it didn't work was simply too high to do it without being pretty confident it worked. Having said that, he made two different moves that I hadn't read (that I had to double check didn't affect the status, bit of a scary moment on those .. more details below on those two). There were a couple of headache-inducing deep reads on the way through the full first read out though (more details below also).

Firstly, the bit I thought was completely forced (I felt :b7: had to be there, due to the extra liberty if he cut at "a" later than if I connected at "a")

This was the point where I really started reading, as the final position was easier to visualise and I felt everything up to here was linear. So, the moves I considered to begin with:

(actually, I realised when writing this up that :b19: @ :w20: kills just fine I think, and :b17: @ :w18: looks like it works too, but I'd missed it at the time)

"b" looks like shape, but failed immediately as far as I could see:

In each line, Black desperately wanted to play Q11, so I had a look through lines as that (option "d"), and I couldn't find a refutation for Black. So Strange as it looks, that's why I played it in the end! My reading was as follows

"a" and "b" feel like the key shape points for depriving White of a second eye, but point "c" gave White such an annoying dodge:

Now preventing White from making an eye at "a" required winning the ko fight, and White has a fairly handy number of local threats. At this point, I can't let any part of White's shape survive, so I was logically drawn to :w8: in the last diagram

If White plays :w6: to make an eye on the edge, although "a" fails to a shortage of liberties, :b7: is forcing, after which Black can play "a" and White dies.

If White plays :w6: to make sure Black can't play "a" in the previous diagram because of the shortage of liberties, Black can still force and then take away the eye directly. No amount of thrashing around seems to change the result:

Now I had to think about whether the fact "a" was suddenly going to change things. Fortunately, having to connect at "b" was no longer in issue if Black captures first, which means I get the extra tempo required to connect at "a" and still take away the eyespace at "c" anyway, reverting to the previous lines:

So from here I think White should be dead.

Did I read it to the end back at L14? Yes. Did I read it completely so that I couldn't have messed up? No, I had to deal with two curve balls that I hadn't looked at, and was kind of lucky that neither of them changed anything really!

It looks like i neglected a vital branch of reading, so I have to resign here.

Thanks for the game Topazg. It was fun to actually finish a Malkovich game.
