i dont know what he is waiting for. he has to play ko. it will be a ko fight to the death. i already know the optimal result for the ko fight. white should win the ko fight..but it might not be easy reading everything.

Thanks Magicwand, but someone already answered my question (which is now moot anyway)
"There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level." -- Bruce Lee
Sorry, this is a bit of a big decision to make, and I don't have the time to make it. My boss is going to be here for a week and a half, and during that time, I'll be away from my comp, I won't be able to post unless my weekend frees up.
So in worst case, the next move will come two Mondays from now.
Thanks for waiting, Magicwand. It was a hectic week and a half.

After a lot of thought, I think I am still comfortable without fighting this ko. It takes too much risk, and I think I can still win without it.

Is it just me, or is it a bit better for white to capture in sente, first? It threatens to kill those black stones, so it seems to gain something for nothing? Or is that a ko threat?
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].

I like yours a bit better. You can consider if Q18 as a response gives black any benefit, but then white R19 is forcing.

i marked few point of intrest. they all have merits. i will pick one after he answer my move. but as of now...b looks big. but it is a gote. but he didnt gain any points since i counted and i did gain enough to win. so i think i will most likely take 'b' to put the final nail on a coffen.
