This must be nerve-wracking for both sides, kinda like jumping inside an opponent's big moyo, a live-and-win type situation. Ok, not kinda like, exactly like.
DrStraw is like a terminator, relentlessly and silently killing. We'll see if he comes up with any witty one liners, a la Arnold.
And the commentary is good too, especially Bill's tewari. Keep it up, all!

Not nerve wracking at all, at least not for me. I stopped being nervous over a game of go after I'd played about 25,000 games. No witticism, however. I'll leave that up to the kibbitzers who are doing a good job.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

What happened to all the diagrams - they disappeared!

They're still visible for me. Perhaps a temporary rendering glitch?

Very strange. At the start of the thread they were visible using Opera. Now they are not. I had to switch to Firefox.

EDIT: Seems like it is not just L19 which is broken. Is it not displaying material at two other sites I used just as regularly.
EDIT: It appears that Javascript got turned off. But I did not do it, so I have no idea how. I am running the latest versions so I am wondering if it was turn off during an automated update.
