This move is either a mistake or the bestest, mostest, most omygoddest tesuji ever. Actually, it's probably just an overplay. After , if I persist with the invasion, I don't think I can win the resulting capturing race. Therefore, I'd have to revert to playing the endgame.

Incidentally, I may have overestimated my lead a bit. In fact, I might be leading by only a handful of points. If this is the case, my overplay may end up costing me dearly. However, EdLee must first find the right way to defend. Let's see if he does.

EdLee's last move looks to be a mistake. The difference between this move and between the move I think he should have played is subtle, yet substantial.

These two extra liberties are the difference between me losing and winning the capturing race.
For this reason, EdLee should go for the following variation instead, but it loses some points.

The difference between this result and the following diagram seems to be about 5 points, give or take. Perhaps viewers who can count better than I can would be kind enough to make a more precise estimate.

Re: #185 EdLee vs. The Intrepid: The Swords
Hey, EdLee! It looks like you were as busy as I had been over the past year. It'd be great to resume this game at some point. I plan on returning to playing Go in July, so let me know if you'd like to continue the game then.

Re: #185 EdLee vs. The Intrepid: The Swords
Hey, EdLee! Should you ever like to finish this game, I would be glad to play!
Another fantastic position! I briefly reviewed the variations I posted previously, and they look rather complicated. Hopefully I have not misread.

Hi Intrepid,
I've completely forgotten about this game. Quite a bit has happened since 2012 ( in both Go and non-Go areas ). Let me go back and review the game from the start -- I just looked at my hidden notes for my first few moves, and they seem to be all news to me ! Let me take a look first... and I'll decide if I should contnue... Thanks.

After a quick glance of one of John's recent big list of books, maybe I'd play slightly differently:
