Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wcm21Sorry I thought "Hmm I should think about this" and then forgot about it. I'd like to keep up with one move a day if possible, but I haven't been playing that way so far...

I'm concerned about that... I think if b gives up the 3 stones like this, he is still very comfortable:

Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wcm21Without much in the calculation of variations,
looks dubious to me. After
White has strengthened Black's wall for nothing. Continuing at "a" is no real threat, because of Black's reply at "b". If White is going to play at "a", wouldn't it be better to do so right away? White might be able to sacrifice the stone at "a" to escape into the center. OC, White plans to extend to "c" next, but, again, why strengthen Black before doing so?
Also, if White omits 29 there is the possibility, probably remote, that White could get in a play at "d" and then play the hane at 30, either after a play at "e" or threatening that cut.
The Adkins Principle:At some point, doesn't thinking have to go on?

I recently found a new job that is keeping me very busy. I think I need to resign this game. I am very sorry, it was just getting interesting! But I don't have much free time these days.
