After some reading, I think capturing and connecting are about the same in terms of how many forcing moves white gets, but connecting gives better eye shape if I get cut off.

Since commenting on the position is all the rage now...

At home I have half a post typed up. I'm deciding between a and b below. B involves a capturing race which I thought I lost but when I started making diagrams to show why I found a variation that I didn't read out completely. I'm leaning towards A anyway as I think it still kills and it doesn't carry quite as much risk (in the likely case that my reading isn't perfect).

We can stop there (see the footnote), just count liberties: W 4, B 3 (on the upper portion of the group. I have to save everything, remember).


Or :b7: can try this (which is the move I hadn't read out completely last night but now have):

Wait, crap, that works for me! Freaking reading (I must have subtracted a liberty from myself in my head). Now I have to double check everything and make absolutely certain this works-- and that there are no deviations.

Next I will see if I can force the previous result if I start from :w2: below...
