Diag 2. Not enough pressure on white for my liking. Also, it would be quite difficult to cut and surround. Having said that, black is still better and as in the proverb, the one space jump is never bad/wrong? I suppose this move is reasonable. Very reasonable, in fact. But who wants to be reasonable, anyways.

I apologize for all the delays. My 2nd child is due in less than a week, and it's been busy. Also, you are playing well, so I'm struggling to find my best line of play. I feel badly that you may not be getting as much as you might have hoped out of this game ...

Either that, or I'm just not playing very well. Either way, it's a bad sign when I'm hoping that my reading will uncover an opponent mistake to get me out of this mess.
There are still good possibilities, even if I lose this fight ... but I'm definitely in the weaker position right now.

Reinforcing my group. The circled stones are not important, I think.

I apologize, but I must resign here. I don't have the time to continue this game, and I can't justify the kind of moves I'm going to have to make to win this game. You played well. Thank you.
