Hmm, what is my opponent up to? This doesn't create any eyespace for him at all, and further invites this double peep - I can't see any way for him to keep everything connected in response. Most of my stones in the underlying area have far too many liberties for them to fall into any real difficulties (which is another plus for this move, strengthening the stone attached to). I will have to keep a bit of an eye on the C7 and B8 stones, but I don't see anything too worrying at the moment - I have lots of options to connect them to the north or south, or even to capture some of black's stones if he plays in a way to allow me to threaten them.

[Added a few minutes later] Actually, there is one line where black can actually cause a few problems:

- which I don't instantly see a good way to respond to (C9 fails to the C8 atari followed by B9). But I don't have to push through with 2, and can defend instead - there's not actually any urgency for me to do anything here.

i think by move 90 black already accumulated enough aji to resurrect his group:

at diagram 3, black has already one eye at E10 and second will make at a, b or c

it is not so easy to spot. i am afraid that by 91 C11 black didn't do himself much good. b B9 is now interesting but probably fail after w B10. it will be sad if the black group dies, considering it could have lived pretty easily at the beginning

Well, this is a lot more complicated and tricky for me than I thought this morning when I made my last move. My stones - particularly those two at C7 and B8 which I expressed only a little concern over - are in some danger. If black can capture those two then he may well have enough space for two eyes there. Whereas the two at C10 and D10 can be sacrificed if if proves necessary, as their capture will only provide black with one eye. (Although I still think I have decent chances of saving them - I basically have miai of connecting them to the south with C9 and pushing through at D11 and fighting my way out with ataris. The only flaw in this plan is black's C8 atari, which prevents the connection in sente. Then things get very messy, but I certainly have resources, including, as I have said, simply giving up the two stones and preventing black getting any eyes elsewhere.)

But given how important those two stones below are, I think my move is forced here. I don't think black can stop me connecting them out:

leaves me ahead in the capturing race. (Black has a few other choices, but they end similarly.) I will insert a disclaimer though: I've a nasty feeling I may be misreading quite badly. Indeed, I initially decided on this move, then when typing sequences up in this post I managed to convince myself it didn't work - but on coming back to it I now don't know what it was I saw that failed :-?

(And I'm totally sober tonight, too ;-)

) Certainly, if there is a refutation to this line of play, then I will lose this game. But none of the alternatives which I've been considering look very promising either - I considered giving up those 2 stones, enclosing black in (B5 from me now would certainly be sente) and trying to make a dead shape, but I'm pretty sure that black would be able to get at least a seki, which clearly is not good enough.

I'm feeling a lot more pessimistic about this game tonight than I did before, but I'm going to carry on fighting for at least a few more moves. I don't know exactly what lines DIV has been reading - if my play does have a refutation he won't necessarily find it. I'd be very interested to see what stronger players think about this situation, to read about after the game

with B11 black could have captured the two white stones (b B11 prevents w D11):

in the game, the sequence would more likely be b B11 - w2 - b1 - w3 - b connect at a. but as robinz already pointed out, the capture provides black with only one eye. however, if black started with some sente preparation moves around b and c, he might be able to get big enough eyespace after the capture. hard to say if they would be or would be not sente

Laman: thanks for your comments (even though I can't read them yet) - good to see there is still some interest in this game

Also, happy new year to all

Hi there, it's freezing cold, well, -7F...so way below freezing. I want to kill these three stones. I don't know if I can exactly, but may be able to. Laman asked me to show some possibilities. here's a few that I think might work.

I dunno. I am not sure if he'll play anything like any of these in any potential combinations(i doubt it will go these ways). There's ko options on these stones as well. Since the start of this game my Go playing has gone from 5-20 games a week to less than one. I am noticing a serious lack in just what (and how I can) I want to do. We'll see. I don't know if this game is won or lost for either of us anymore, I want to get this black group resolved with life so I can look to reduce and build my territory elsewhere, this thing is freaking me out. That's about where I am at mentally.

For DIV after the game:

This is why reading (and hence life and death) is SO SO KEY. This should be a relatively simple read, quite possible for even ddks after some time.

I hope people haven't been commenting too much just because of holidays, it's been picking up a little. Hopefully a sign of more to come.

Reading this out I am not sure I can actually do it...maybe this(below)? I think that continuation is my only possibility, but as I said, I am either misreading or being outplayed at this point, boo. I am wondering what Aphelion is saying, I imagine it's something along the lines of 'you misread fool', haha.

If this stuff doesn't work, I can still try to set up a position to kill the full triangle, though I don't think I can at all. I need to play through and try and connect I think, or this big group is out and I am out.
