Okay. I can understand your reasoning when it is spoon-fed to me, but I don't know if I could have come to the same conclusion by myself.

@Bill, allowing the split and fighting a huge ko was pretty popular a year or two ago, I haven't seen it so much recently (whether that's just fashion or they decided it's good for someone I don't know, or maybe I'm just not looking at the games it still happens in). In fact white preferred the more powerful atari here, the simple connection is slack so play went like this.
