1986's game move is sente (so is almost any other local move).
I don't agree with 1986's explanation diagram, though. For one, that result is not gote for him. For another, if he thinks that's a gote result, what is the difference between that and the game move?
Edit: also, in the explanation diagram, seems like 41 should be at 42 instead.

I ... don't get it ... I thought maybe I'd missed something here, but I can't see the danger. Sure, I have to respond ... but if I do manage to get a ko going, this is a waste of a huge ko threat.
So, I'll respond, and wait to see what he does next.

well he saw that comming lol,
i shifted my focus to my old inside weak group
i like this moves because it picks up some free points its sente, and my group is not in danger so i dont have to worry
as long as the ball is on my side of the court i can find big endgame moves and block off some points, because there is not that many open areas left on the board. its crunch time!
1986's game move is sente (so is almost any other local move).
I don't agree with 1986's explanation diagram, though. For one, that result is not gote for him. For another, if he thinks that's a gote result, what is the difference between that and the game move?
Edit: also, in the explanation diagram, seems like 41 should be at 42 instead.
And I wonder why I'm so bad at tsumego... haha. Thanks illluck - I was missing the simple obviousness that Marcus needed to respond because of the capture race with that group.
I do agree with your statement, though. And Marcus' statement.
Seeing 1986's last comment - was he hoping to trick Marcus into thinking he'd made a bad move? An interesting play, if you don't mind burning ko threats.

He simply fails, so white just gets free points.
Also, his outside forcing moves aren't worth anything.

It's your move then!
I was disappointed to see this go on hiatus, but family emergencies happen, so it is very understandable. I hope everything has been worked out for you now, 1986!

but thats not the important side because i can easily sacrifice those corner stones, and this is a good move because it must be responded to or else i can atari and gain alot of points in the corner.
so far its not looking so bad, its good to be back in the game with a sound mind and a clear head, im happy again lets play some GO!
