#200 Phelan vs. tomukaze

[tomukaze]

Hello hello, you still playing?

[Phelan]

I'm sorry, I haven't really had time for Go lately. I resign this game, and apologize for stopping so abruptly.

It was a very interesting game, even if we didn't play it all the way through. Thanks!

[Phelan]

By the way a final comment on your last move. I'm hiding it so it's in the same format as the others:

That was a very good move, something I did not predict. I remember going over several vcariations when I had time, and regretting entering the conflict at all. All the best moves I could come up with would involve a forced saving of the group, or a tenuki and a death of a great part of it.
I decided I needed to think about it better, but then life happened, and I got busy elsewhere. I've barely visited L19 since my last message to you.
I apologize for leaving this game's possible status in flux, but I think you would have had the upper hand for quite sometime, after the right-side group was resolved, whether it lived or died.

Thank you for the comments Phelan. It is a great pity that you resigned the game, it was quite fun. I never saw your right group as really in danger, I was just pressuring it to see what would happen

Anyway if you decide to go on with the game just post a move and we can continue as normal.

Take care,
Tom

Well, I doubt I'll be able to in the immediate future, but I'll contact you when I get active back here.
