Edited to add score estimate.

B:
18 points lower right.
12 points lower left.
19 point centre and left hand side.
45 points top.
94 points total

W:
15 points lower side group
15 point RHS
35 points upper left
6.5 kmoi
Less than 70 total

Despite my yose being slack, I appear to have a lead of around 25 points and W's available aji is fast disappearing.

i think i will resign.
thank you for the game.
for obs.. sorry about bad game.
i think i was too timid on the beginning and never had chance.

drmwc: watching your game as ob gave me feeling that i can easily win against you. i guess watching and playing is two different thing. ^^

Thanks to both of you for doing it. It has been very enjoyable to watch. :salute:

@MW: If you could play move 54 over again, would you still play it at F16?

i dont think 54 was wrong... it was a probe.
i think 66 was too timid. (i already lost flow at this point)
i should have extended IMO.

Playing too timid and losing flow plus your opponent not making mistake will make the game look bad :)

I think 74 was an overplay.

W played at a. However, isn't the game more fun for white as shown? Next W can consider either of the marked moves. W has quite a lot of liberties on the top group, so B will be keen to avoid a semeai.


Having looked at the comments, this is an intersting juntion:

MW's opininion is that my move is a mistake, and I should take the 3-3. However, I'm pretty happy with this move.
I want to cut in the centre, and it doens't seem to work without this move.
It strenghtens my central group (but with a slight hole).
It builds a loose moyo (with some holes)
It makes the 3-3 next quite severe.

So I thought it was a m ulti-purpose move, whereas if I go in at the 3-3 I become thin across the board.

The white respsone shown may have been interesting (although I would also have protected the corner.)
