26. Redundant (4k) vs. Lute (4k)

[Chew Terr]

To Shaddy:

Even if he can't, the large knight's move enclosure should be invadable.

I get that the large knight tends to be imminently invadable. However, if you were to start an invasion here, where would you start? With a large knight's from the star, I see the 3-3. But I'm typically clueless about other sorts of corner invasions, so I'm curious what you'd recommend.

I'm very, very sorry. Apparently, I missed an April 23rd court date that I totally forgot about. This is something urgent that I'll have to fix today. I will make a move tonight or if things don't go so great and I don't get home, then tomorrow morning.

It looks like he made the keima before pushing up once more. I think I can create and use some aji dealing with this. This isn't as bad as it could be BUT he will take a good amount of profit.

For Terr:

I was typing something up, but then I looked at Sensei's, and they had much better sequences than I could have come up with.

Thanks, Shaddy =)

If White wants to play anyway, he should not exchange for first, because he has eliminated the continuation of white 'a'. By the way, since the ladder is good for White, he can play at 'b'. Work out the continuation of 'a' for yourself, or look it up.

The problem with is that now has only a single purpose, running out, and only one continuation, pressing down on (or attacking) the right side black stone, which Black can now simply defend with one move.

Hopefully it's not because of this that he is unable to make his move.

Look forward to the resuming of this game.
