Well I kept trying moves and none of them worked well. Finally I took a look at this move. To be honest, I haven't read everything out fully, but this is interesting to me. If magicwand ignores the move then I can get some good shape by exploiting the shortage of liberties around white L12, and meanwhile it fixes the biggest problem I've been having, which is my weakness at G15. So let's see if it works.

If I misread and all my stones around F16 and K12 die, then I'll have to think hard about resigning.

A move that I did not expect at all, but it makes sense once I look at it. Seems I'll have to drop to 1 move per day while things stay tricky.

Looks very bleak. I thought about E11 and E10, but they ended up even worse.

Araban - isn't is *always* for observers only when people comment hidden? (Unless it specifically says it's for a player).

I know I haven't been seeing any of them...

Yeah, guess the comment was a bit redundant; but I guess the re-iteration can't hurt :). Hope it doesn't tempt you to look, cause if you do...

okok...i actually try to read this problem and solve.
it is not easy. the problem is bigger than it seems.

short answer : ko.
but way more complicated because it is intertwined with top black group.

i will play as below and leave the ko aji alone for a while.
depends on what he plays i will decide if i am going to activate the ko aji.
