: I thought about crosscutting as well, as it looks interesting, but I'm going with the nobi instead.

: The shape is bad, but extending or one-space jumping lets him play

below, which starts what I judge to be an unfavorable fight for me. My actual move is harder to exploit in my opinion.

Since I'm not playing a second nobi, I didn't peek at his trigger, so I have no clue if that's what he actually had planned or not.

I feel like I leave too much bad aji behind if I do not extend. I also have some aji around here myself after the nobi.

I'm losing by quite a lot, so I have to launch an aggressive invasion. If he kills it, I'll have to resign. But it doesn't look all that easy to kill.

Awful shape, but I can isolate his

stones and I'm at least picking a fight.

at 'a' might be a better option; I'll have to decide if he plays this way.

Good move by him. I can't find a way to continue in that corner. I think my move would be more realistic if I had a one-space jump from my

stone, but I felt that if I did that he would just defend and I would lose all opportunity to do so. Plus, I forgot about this move when reading it out last time

. That means I have only one thing left to try. I'll admit right now it seems like a long shot, but I refuse to go down without making him prove it.

I've read further than this, but it starts to branch into more variations than I have the time to post. Like I said, I don't really think it works, but I'm desperate now.

I don't think this will live. If he wanted to try something here perhaps he should have played like this on the left:

Even then I think it is difficult, but now if he lives it must be local because he has no place to run. Of course, I'm a fool and I miss self-ataris when reading so anything can happen.

He must feel like he is losing big, i.e. he cannot win at yose, because allowing

is giving up a chance for black to play there and giving me the opportunity for a monkey jump.

You're not going to let me live, are you?

I resign. Thank you for the game. I'll probably try to summarize my thoughts later.

Thanks for the game.

EDIT: And, no, I didn't intend to let you live, sorry.

It won't be a pain to unhide all these comments thanks to this nifty greasemonkey script some cool guy made.

I thought this was a good move. It made me deviate from my original plan of building up the left side.

This move can be played, but it usually is omitted as it removes the possibility of invasion. Regardless, not playing at (a) was probably a bad idea. This more than

made this game enter unusual territory.

There was some discussion about this variation instead. I would have probably responded to

at (a) not as in the variation.

This probably wouldn't be so good because of the weakness at (a), but...

This was a big exchange. Letting my group get surrounded is obviously huge, but I think my move was big, too. I felt like I'd be able to make small life, so adding another move didn't seem worth it. Had

been at (a), I wouldn't have been able to live. So, I guess that answers the question of what move was better in that position -- the move that puts more pressure on white!

That's about it, I guess. Thanks again for the game.
