No rush, you're way ahead of the rest of the field anyway

Oren and I, L19 room, more or less now.

Edit:

It was a fun game with lots of fighting and exchanges. Oren smacked me all around the board, but then fell one liberty short during endgame desperate-overplay-phase. Any comments very welcome.

Some notes: up to 74 I was happy, and (mistakenly, I think) felt the ko was too big to ignore. However, white was never able to put the kind of pressure I imagined on o7, and black simply got stronger and stronger in the center. By 119 W is clearly in trouble. After the forcing sequence around 137 I completely lost track of the relative liberties of G10 and J10, which must have bewildered oren.

i could be wrong, but w 70 looks like a no-threat to me and i can't see good alternatives either

nice and mad game

[HermanHiddema]

Redundant and I will be playing in 5 minutes.

EDIT:

Well, that went rather quickly.

After an interesting opening, things went downhill quickly in a center fight:

Unless I can get a 2-3 week extension (I have a good excuse! I'm getting married! The relationship started because of Go!), I'm going to have to bow out of the tournament.

Thanks to Topazg for being so patient with me!

And a big thanks to HermanHiddema for putting this tournament on this year!

I'll be happy to wait a bit, some things definitely have priority. Just let me know when you can play.

I was going to extend the deadline anyway, as half the games haven't been played yet.

Does Practise have alt accounts? I never seem to see him on KGS.

Yeah, that looks right to me... dang. Was there any ko threat around there?

[Jedo]

After weeks of trying to overcome a cumbersome time difference, me and danielxr finally got the chance to place.

I played as white and won by res.
