White lost some yose on the left with his ko threats: a16 was a 2 points double sente. It probably should be black's privilege, but in a handicap game white's .

Maybe he has been taking painkillers for his finger.
I thought that he would have done better to answer my threat by taking N15. He still had several good threats himself at M1 and A14.
Or it could be that I am missing something. But, regardless, I have to play P14.

Does anyone have an accurate prisoner count? Thanks.
After a few mistakes on both sides, this is very close. My count of the board says that I am ahead by 3 points. But he has a 2 or 3 point lead in prisoners.
i guess my opponent is in counting mode.. i also counted and it was closer than i thought. but i think i still have advantage. (at least that is what i like to believe.) few moves later we will know who win this game for sure...
