This is from the second round of the Cootsen. I didn't keep score, but I took a cell camera shot when it got interesting, so we start in medias res. ( BTW, I'm not really looking for advice on this one. If it didn't work, I'm not sure that I'd want to know )
I had just finished a fight in the lower right, in gote, connecting with the marked stone.

He sees that his group in the middle is week, so he tries to elbow his way out. I keep trying to lock him in.

He can get out with 5, so I play 6, offering to let half escape, if he will give me the other half.
