Any diagnosis for this, doctor?


i have a confession to make. it makes me uncomfortable also.
i thinkg even professionals are uncomfortable if they do not have know if they are alive.
only difference is that they already prepare followup moves that will guarantee life.

reading is everything. always think how is my opponent attack my stone?
and have answer for that before that you start playing the sequence.
