I am moving this game over here in the hopes that magicwand will move over here as well. As it is, I keep getting database errors when I try to post my move to GoDiscussions, so I am unable to continue there.

Here's an sgf of the game so far:

Anyway, he's settled his bottom group, so time to profit by attacking his other group. Although I do have some bad aji with the clamp at 'a' below, to protect there now would be too slow, as he could reduce my side to approximately 12 points while strengthening his weak group. This attack actually helps a bit with addressing the clamp, and it keeps his weak group on the run while I profit below. I just have to make sure my own group does not get weak.

I wouldn't recommend playing too much for the next 12 hours.
As you can see in this thread, there is going to be some shuffling going on. I plan to do it tonight after everyone has a chance to comment. If I screw up, your new game will disappear. If you do play, KEEP BACKUPS.

So, I'm still following what I posted in my last hidden section. These are cutting stones for him - he must save them.

So, I don't expect him to push again (see analysis at top of page), but if he does, I may be able to hane (or jump out with my left side group). Either way, he has some good potential for making territory in the center by giving me territory along the side, but will it be enough for him? By my count, no. So, he'll probably muddle the waters up instead as soon as his group is safe.

i decided to make my move now. my moyo will speak his word.
this is not an overplay it is a calculated move that will break his back. it seems that he doesnt give too much respect to my moyo but he will pay now.

i would like to give you some possible variation but i dont see any good move by black. also it is so complicated i have no idea where he will play.

i will put more comment after his move.
edit: one comment i will put... i am preparing for the ko fight.
if i get enough ko threat i will play at "a" this is what i call timing. he missed his time to atari that i have to answer without ko.
he might have to pay for that mistake when i build my ko threat.

So, although I didn't mention it, this was another spot I thought he might play. However, I knew I would not be in trouble, as I have his other weak group to lean on. I actually think his play is an overplay, but I must be careful. The game has gotten tense again.

I'm really hoping that this move is as good as it appears. It aims at both 'a' and 'b'. For his sake, I hope he has better reading skills than me, because to me it appears this move strikes at the vital point of the entire quarter of the board. Here's a bunch of things I've read out.

Anyway, I've tried to avoid overwhelming anyone with diagrams to this point, but this is a pivotal moment in the game, and I wanted to show at least some of what I've considered. There is more, but I have not seen anything good for him yet.

when you see your opponent's play looking little funny you should find the weakness. it took me about 2 minutes of stare.
only thing that appears threatening is 1 but i have my own move that counter his attack. whatever the result will be ...i will come out a winner. because my feeling says so! he will drown deeper and deeper.

His move is better for moving out than what I showed, but a bit thinner.

Anyway, if he plays W1 below, I can respond as follows:

Of course, I have other options aside from move 2 to consider as well. How exciting is this!

Anyway, I'm sorry that these analyses may not be easy to read right now, I don't know what to do about it. Currently I'm debating between 'a' and 'b' below for my next move, but I'm fairly certain I must start with the move I did above. If I do play 'b', my next move will probably be at san-san. However, 'a' looks more attractive, if it works. I'm just worried about his play at 'c'. Notice that if he plays 'a' in response to 'b', I can win the semeai, or at least that's what I've seen.

Follow any of that?

P.S. I bet Magicwand wishes I'd play my moves as fast as he does. However, if I were to do that I think I'd lose my sanity :mrgreen: . I play at my pace, which I feel is fine for a non-realtime game.

only one move. i will wait till he makes his the move. whatever path he takes i dont know but i dont see anything that will save black group.

i talk about the feeling manytimes before. my feeling is that spliting my two white stones as he did... it is not good. so kyu level players take a note. what black played is wrong.
do not make that kind of mistake and pretend that everything is ok. to convince doubter 4d+ please second my feeling :)

Sorry, I'm busy this evening and need more time before I'm ready to play my next move.

Man, I'm really not sure what I should be doing right now. It's hard to play moves you're uncertain of in slow games like this. Oh well, whatever happens, happens!
