- if black plays this way, then either the J7 or the H8 stone drops off. (Initial plan was to put it in a trigger, but since black's move actually achieves little I'm no sure he's likely to play it.) Otherwise, I get to play J7 myself. Either way, I do manage to connect out with my eye-stealing stones. He will probably try running to he north or east instead, therefore - but his chances of connecting to friendly stones (or making 2 eyes elsewhere) strike me as minimal. Famous last words, probably - but I feel confident right now, at least

Some more reflections:

I think I was a bit too confident in my comments last night. Black playing at J8, and then cutting at K7 after I play J7, is going to cause me problems. I've done some reading this morning, and think I can come out OK by playing as follows:

This is a complicated position. I'm safely connected out, and black's stones are cut into two groups. But my own cutting stones are rather weak. It's not really the kind of situation I was hoping for - but at the same time I don't think it's disastrously bad - all will depend on if I can keep those cutting stones alive will preventing black's left-hand group from either connecting out or making 2 eyes. If black goes down this route I might reconsider to see if I have any better moves anywhere along the line.

But I'm prepared to fight my way to victory if the game does become a big dogfight like this :rambo:

as others pointed out many moves ago, this white's attack at the black group doesn't work very well. in similar situations i usually think something like "come on, i am alive, why are you trying?", although that doesn't mean correct answering is always trivial.

i would at least say that wE7 (60) seems pretty questionable to me - it is overoptimistic because black group is not as weak as both players believe and such move is usually last move sealing the fate of a group, making it finally eyeless and dead, while in this position black can still escape without too much trouble

bJ4 (63) does no harm in my opinion, as black has no prospects of doing anything by the lower edge. although it also doesn't greatly improve black's position

if nothing better, black could be satisfied with this variation, for example (how to attack now?):

ah, i would forget - DIV: don't worry too much about having few reasons for your moves. to some degree, it appears to me that in Malkovich games the weakest players have most reasoning behind their moves, while stronger ones are able to play by feeling (this certainly doesn't mean you shouldn't think about the game and shouldn't write long comments, it's just a random observation)

OK, after much vacillation this morning, I'm sticking with the original plan. This move is big, and very definitely sente - black must now play A16 to live. (I should probably put a trigger, as I don't expect DIV to get this wrong - but I want to give myself a bit more time to decide my next move ;-)

).

The reason for my indecision this morning is that I thought and read long and hard about whether I could in fact kill by playing A16 myself now. For a while I thought that I could, the following being a nice main line:

(at first I mistakenly thought that this was seki, but of course I can play a and b at my leisure to atari the A18 stones and thus kill.)

That's all very nice (and I'm rather embarassed that I'd not bothered to read out any of these sequences until now :oops:

). But black doesn't have to just roll over as above, but might play the following crosscut:

- which I would find harder to deal with than I thought at first. Black's corner group is certainly unable to make 2 eyes, but suddenly my top group doesn't look very safe either - and black's E5 group can get involved in the coming mess, perhaps even managing to connect out. Probably I'm worrying over nothing, but I think I'm ahead in this game, so I'm not going to make things complicated when I have a simple and solid big sente move like B13 available

7 connects underneath. White has nothing to fear.
