Re: #250 amatterof v. Joaz Banbeck

I sincerely apologize, but it turns out that these correspondence games have been wrecking my sleep schedule. (I keep waking up thinking about the current positions and then am unable to go back to sleep.) I wish that I could continue, but I just don't think it will be possible for me to do so ...

Re: #250 amatterof v. Joaz Banbeck

@Uberdude:
Yes, that's exactly what I was afraid of. But his first trigger treated as sente, which meant I could still come back to the C6 group. The fact that he was willing to treat as sente was what I regarded as my missed opportunity. Hopefully he'll still feel the same way later when I play it ...

Re: Losing 50 more games

For move 111, I think it should still be seki. O16 is sente, so you can play that first and then come back to connect at K15.

Re: Filling in the gaps

Week 5 Update
This was slightly disappointing week for me. I played fairly poorly, but at least I mostly kept up with the resolutions. The study-posts have largely faded, which seems unfortunate. I've been telling myself that the detailed study of my correspondence games has taken its place, which ...

Re: #250 amatterof v. Joaz Banbeck

I am currently traveling with mobile access only and probably won't be able to move until tomorrow evening.

This is somewhat encouraging. I am inclined to strengthen my group with L5 and K4, which both should be sente. Then I can pull out C6 if I want or take the big point at K16. Diagrams and ...

Re: #250 amatterof v. Joaz Banbeck

This is a tricky one. I've decided that simply playing the shape move at H7 makes life too easy on Black after L7, which not only expands the lower right but threatens to seal off the entire upper right.

Re: #250 amatterof v. Joaz Banbeck

For observers:
My first reaction on seeing was that it was a bit greedy and very thin. For those of you who enjoy watching HayleeL's videos as much as I do, I heard her voice in my head saying "Can you do that?"

The good news is that it seems to me that does not kill off C6. I'm convinced I can ...

Re: #250 amatterof v. Joaz Banbeck

There were two sets of hidden text in your prior post. Was one meant to be a trigger? In any case:
