OK... I'm pretty sure that THIS time I know what I'm doing... Sorry, has to be this one.

I must have been tired last time, I now figured out what I missed (grrr). If white does what I said, we can win a capturing race. We get megacorner, white gets megawall.

Actually, I think chew's got it. With all this discussion of nets, his tesuji is rather nice, and one that neither Joaz nor Daniel seem to have considered (FWIW, I missed it too):

Pretty slick, but I think we still win this.

What is the prisoner count? I'm thinking that it should be W52 B51.

Posted: **Sat Jan 08, 2011 2:43 pm**

I THINK the score is 52-49, but I don't know for sure. Correct me if I'm wrong, please! B had one too many points because they took back the capture. Going to keep reading this a bit more...

Okay, here's the read I've got. If B plays anything that doesn't reduce our liberties, we just reduce their liberties inside the net.

Can they break out?

More reading is required, and I have stuff to do. This is what I've got so far, though. If we can prevent them from breaking the net, we just win.

Okay, I'm really frustrated. I was seriously proud of the reading I had for the last move. However, I had misread, and been convinced that the net worked. As I've shown here, I now do not believe that it does. If the net doesn't work, I see absolutely no way to save 1/4 of the stones we have on the board. I am going to play the move for the net, just in case you two see something here that I'm missing. If there is no secret super-move that I'm missing, I suggest we resign.

This is insane. I can't read this.

But, Joaz seems to have a key move wrong I think. :w14:
