This is kind of nice, and now we're at a point where the game is mostly decided, I think. I'm going to try and examine the board later tonight and see if I can work out the value of various endgame plays from here. Also, I intend to do another count of the game to see where we're at.

I considered tenuki here, but there's nothing on the board that's very big, and ignoring here allows him to push into my territory thanks to some aji from his dead stone at K16. Better to play solid here.
