With the shape above, 'b' is usually a good move to ensure connection between the two groups. So just glancing at the shape, 'b' seems like the correct move. But in this case, why not simply capture the stone?

How has playing ez4u compared to your initial expectations? In retrospect, did he play any moves that you found particularly surprising?


He has the wonderful dan ability to take leads without doing anything spectacular :P

To be honest, his play on the right side was inspiring, but apart from that, he's just done lots of solid, good, sensible moves. I wish I could make the board look so promising doing that :D

Here we go! I have no real thoughts about this fight yet. It depends too much on how topazg reacts.

At the moment I am waiting to react in whatever direction is appropriate. Black has to give something up in this fight and it is not clear what he will be able to take in return. There are various weaknesses in White's position, as there are in Black's.

I'd originally intended this :b15:, but :w16: appears to kill my big dragon. I was doing a fair amount of reading on White playing it as :w14:, but I figured this was enough:

However, because my :b15: and :b17: in this diagram are necessary, that means that his :w14: simply works when he extends where he did, and I must defend against it, and can only defend from one direction.

This is basically my only chance, but one of us is going to die, and the odds are surprisingly high that it's me. If it is, I'll resign, if it's him, he will, so we may as well play through to the point I can actually read the game :)

To me, topazg's diagrams look good for B. Am I missing something? Is he missing something?

Should I play this first, regardless of whether he can or not?

Sadly, this is deep, and complex, and my brain hurts. Will see later I guess :)

To me, topazg's diagrams look good for B. Am I missing something? Is he missing something?

I think it's perhaps overly optimistic, as kind of a 'best case scenario' kind of thing. More likely, Dave will resist one or both peeps, and the situation will escalate. I think Topazg couldn't show every possible resistance, so he showed the less complicated 'main line'.


edit: Topazg's added explanation basically summarizes what I posted above. =D

In one sense :b19: seemed natural. However, I think that White has gained a lot of territory by capturing the G6 stone (in exchange for the F9 stone) and now gripping the L4 stone. In addition, my N19 stones are now connected along the bottom. The fight in the center looks tricky for both sides but White has forcing plays against the left center group around J12, so I am feeling more confident here. If possible, I think Black should have waited to settle the question of pulling out the N6 stones or the stone on L4.
