Ok by me. I'll go with whatever the majority prefers.

Phelan hasn't posted since Sept. 2, if Daniel has no objections I would pronounce this game adjourned.

That's fine, I hope Phelan is OK...

Daniel, thanks for worrying, everything is ok.
Sorry guys. I've been a little too busy for L19, and only recently started lurking again.

I think I have time to finish this game at least. Does everyone want to resume it?

I can continue it or not, whatever you guys want to do.

Thanks.

So, from where we left off:

I approve.

I guess what we are doing, deconstructed, is: Apelion proposes 23, I approve, we assume that 24 is the only reasonable move, Phelan will play it, Daniel will approve it, Aphelion plays 25 and I approve that too.
@Phelan & Daniel: Is this ok with with you?


I'm ok with it.

Yeah, I'm ok with that. So now Phelan gets to play 26, right?

Right now I'm just concerned about our group living, without harming any possibilities at the top.
I also considered L18, but I didn't like K17 as the reply.
Looking at the game now, I don't really like White. It seems black will be solid soon, and will also have influence towards the middle and right side.

Force before living. If we don't do this, we'll never have the option of splitting off the black stones for an attack. This won't be sente once our group is alive.

To white players anytime, and to Aphelion after he moves:
If it is M15, I approve.

I'm going skiing - or, well, falling down on ski slopes - for a few days, so I might not post until Friday.

Forced, of course. I wonder if I should have taken the time to take that stone earlier, but that gave white a fair bit on the top. At least I will still get sente back after this, I will need to evaluate if the top group needs another move after that


Edit: Corrected move number, and after reading Joaz's move its now Phelan's turn.

Fixed corrections. :-?
It seems I forgot how important keeping the groups separated was.
Now I'm undecided between K17 and just playing N18 again. We're starting to run low on corrections...

This takes away some eyespace on the top.

I also considered K14, but I don't like black's reply:
