i dont know what he is waiting for.
he has to play ko. it will be a ko fight to the death.
i already know the optimal result for the ko fight.
white should win the ko fight..but it might not be easy reading everything.

i will go home for now..and will be super busy tomorrow...
i dont think i can move till WED.

Thanks Magicwand, but someone already answered my question (which is now moot anyway)

Sorry, this is a bit of a big decision to make, and I don't have the time to make it. My boss is going to be here for a week and a half, and during that time, I'll be away from my comp, I won't be able to post unless my weekend frees up.

So in worst case, the next move will come two Mondays from now.

After a lot of thought, I think I am still comfortable without fighting this ko. It takes too much risk, and I think I can still win without it.

Is it just me, or is it a bit better for white to capture in sente, first? It threatens to kill those black stones, so it seems to gain something for nothing? Or is that a ko threat?

I like yours a bit better. You can consider if Q18 as a response gives black any benefit, but then white R19 is forcing.

i marked few point of intrest. they all have merits. i will pick one after he answer my move.
but as of now...b looks big. but it is a gote. but he didnt gain any points since i counted and i did gain enough to win. so i think i will most likely take 'b' to put the final nail on a coffen.

I think sente is too important in this game... I have to keep sente, and this is the move to let me do it. If I were to connect and atari one stone, I think that he would just take tenuki.

after careful review 'a' is gote so it is not big.
i will rather take his sente away from him (this will demoralize him) and give some support to my group in the middle and make sure he doesnt have two eye so i can force him to take my stones at the end plus many other intresting ajis.
also 'b' is very big because it will open up invasion on 'c' plus many more intresting ajis.
i believe i am winning by slim margin but it is still too early to tell.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 3 seems very gote, which is the opposite of what MW said? I don't see why white would play at x, now that there are only two points in gote there? a-c all seem bigger to me.

I think it has some merit also in that it changes how white can handle a (as black can connect underneath now, so doesn't have to worry about this if white ataris to capture.

It's also reverse sente, of course, and removes some aji from the area.

Whether this is enough to make it the best move...I'm still not sure. It's subtle, if so.

This is very kyuish mistake by Black, motivated by "sente envy". There would have been a much bigger reverse sente on the left side, for example.
