Any protective plays needed?

If so, where?

Presumably when White connected at 224 in the game both sides had already read out that Black can win the ko below and therefore does not have to connect. The gap between that and my measly skills is so depressing that I can't go any further. Merry Christmas? Bah humbug I say! :blackeye:

This one doesn't even need the dame to be filled I think, unless black is willing to fight the ko. With that bent 4 in the upper right the ko is probably bad for black.

there's nothing in the middle, but there's a lot of aji there with the 3 stones at K9. But doesn't seem to work at all.

Dave Sigaty nailed the key point, which is the threat of this ko. (This was a kyu-kyu game, and White missed the opportunity to play :w1: earlier.) A protective play in this corner is urgent.

Black needs to make two protective plays. (There are other local points that also work.)

I also did not find any need for White to protect in the center. :)

WHAT!!! Our Bill Spight offering a kyu-kyu game with both sides missing the point rather than some obscure 18th century classic with both sides reading the ending out perfectly? What next?! :blackeye:

Well, actually, Brother Dave, if I did write a book called Dame Filling for Dummies, it would have a lot of DDK games. Heck, when I was a 4 kyu and started studying pro games, I was frequently unable to fill the dame correctly and get the same result as the game record said. ;)

This is why I found this post. Glad to know that the issue is within myself. Maybe I'll figure it out one day.
