Last night I was tired yet still wanted to play,
but somehow restrained myself to wait, and it was a good choice, I think.
I even saw Loons on KGS and told him as much.
(And found out his time zone is 19 hours ahead, almost one full day in the future!

)

Back in Post #215, I considered perhaps (a) and (b) were miai:

So if

, I should take :w2:

:

Which is the same shape as in the real game -- since B can always do the :bc:

exchange --
only the order was different:

So if I changed my mind and captured the :bc:

stone with :w1:

,
it means letting B take both :bt:

and

-- both (a) and (b) in Var. 1:

Somehow I had confused myself -- maybe still tired from Congress and other projects --
and I'm glad I took the sleep first, and :w88:

the the above tewari came to me in the shower.

Loons, I'll be offline until the end of this week (Sunday Aug 21 here),
so you'll have had over 9 days for :b91:

-- I look forward to it.

Not a sequence of moves, a sequence of thoughts. I ended up at 'd' because 'a' 'b' and 'c' all leave a walk-through-able gap with respect to my marked black stone. My group on the left seems thicker than my group on the bottom, so white leaning on it should be less trouble.
So, moves by Ed I'm anticipating:

'a' seems sente against the triangled cut; I have the circled peep to use but may need to just block in gote anyway (which will be locally quite nice at least)

'd' and 'e' seem like good choices because they're where I want to play. Against them, I think I just fall back.

'b' and 'c' shoulder hits against my third line two space extension are normal tactics (though I think normally earlier in the game), and perhaps the most likely. I will look at sacrificing F3 if Ed plays this way.

'f' I do not expect (famous last words). While black neglected to net those two stones, running with them is heavy; resulting in a gross loss if it does not 'work' stellarly somehow. It is better to aim at this adji with one of the other moves.
