The thread was visited almost 300 times already. People
are watching!
Black has done some horrible things to himself, but he should by no means hang his head.
I wonder whether Black can try something like this at some point? In the current position, it's almost certainly an overplay, but it's something to keep in mind.

I think your diagram had an error at the marked point.

I thought Skydyr would just play this:
$$Bcm41 Prisoners: White stones:0 ; Black stones:2
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm41 Prisoners: White stones:0 ; Black stones:2His group then has unconditional life, and I have sente to go back to the bottom. The peep aji at K3 is very irritating for me.
In the current variation, we can make a ko:
$$Bcm51 Prisoners: White stones:0 ; Black stones:2
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm51 Prisoners: White stones:0 ; Black stones:2I will not do this immediately, but it is nice to do.
So essentially, Skydyr exchanged life in gote for life in ko by fixing my peep aji. I think this exchange favors me.
