MW hinted at killing black on the right. I can't quite see a way to kill, myself - black seems to have space.
But if white did kill, it would put him back in the game (though, black would still seem to have good chance, too), so it'd be nice too see something like that happen.
Alas, seems difficult, though. At least this ko potential in the center is interesting.

I am sure my opponent will read this out... white die.
I think my opponent will not try to kill be because he is ahead by alot.

*Scrrrreeeeeech* Hold on here. That's the wrong ko!
MY group could be at risk.
I must start thinking again.
After thinking a bit, it appears that I do not have to fight the other ko. I can ignore it and just run him short on liberties.
This makes no sense. Did MW really exchange a ko that he could fight for a straight liberties race that he can't possibly win?
Either he is suicidal or I am stupid.
I suppose that the two are not mutually exclusive.

I've spent a solid hour reading this, and cannot see how I can lose. I concluded many days ago that the line with the ko at H7/H8 was white's best chance, and I still hold that opinion.
I suppose that a purely rational player would let the ko slide, and just win on points in other parts of the board. But there is an issue of fighting spirit here: there is no way that I can show my face ...err, avatar... on these boards if I have let MW bluff me out of an easily won liberties race.
