For observers:

Dragon Pie will almost certainly approve. And if younger brother goes ahead with his plan, it may look like this:

is sente, but so is

. And white's may be bigger.

So I may prefer this:

...even if it costs 3 stones.

Forming a box with 2 would be very good for black, but that would allow me to get the last big extension, so I'm not worried about it.

taking the other extension would make miai of a and b (a seems more valuable to black, but b seems to work better with the marked stones), so I'd probably be okay with this too, but I'm not sure my position on the left side justifies

@Dragonpie: your move?

@Skydyr: Hey partner, should we claim a win on time?

I guess it would help if we set time limits in the first place. Maybe we can find a substitute?

Splatted,
What do you want to do?

Posted: **Tue Jun 11, 2013 2:55 pm**

I'm in two minds, which is why I didn't post before, but I guess the best option would be to see if someone wants to take over for dragon pie. Any takers?

What I really want to avoid is lots of waiting around followed by abandoning the game because right now I'm really interested in reading the comments, but I doubt I will be after a month spent not thinking about it.

Posted: **Tue Jun 11, 2013 5:31 pm**

Why don't we wait until, say, Saturday, and declare it over if no one has stepped up?

Posted: **Tue Jun 11, 2013 8:38 pm**

I want to read comments now.

Posted: **Wed Jun 12, 2013 5:34 am**

Saturday sounds good. (Can you wait that long Joaz?)

Edit: To be clear to anyone who just reads the last post, we're looking for a 1dan to take over for DragonPie.

Anyone around 1d want to take over for Dragon Pie?

Will I do? 1k IRL, 1d KGS. I think I can commit to approving something on most days, although on July I may be travelling somewhat

I have read the hidden comments in this thread, but it was days ago, don't remember much and in any case the game will soon move forward.

Open or closed book & database for big brothers? Both are fine for me, just need to know.

And finally, if I'm an acceptable substitute, I approve white's last move

Posted: **Thu Jun 13, 2013 5:14 am**

1d KGS is perfect. Welcome to the team.

Unless someone has an objection I guess that makes it skydyr's move.
