If this stone on F3 magically comes back to life, I could be in a lot of trouble with a weak group on both sides. This move removes a lot of the aji of this stone. If black gets to extend it to F4 himself, I'm in a lot of trouble. I looked at other ways of blocking for example playing on F5, but then black can escape via G4 and it's not great since both my white groups would be weak... I've also worked out (I think!) that if black extends to D14, I win the semeai, so not worried about that

Ok... wasn't expecting his move there... a little too precautionary I think.. So I will take a big point on the board then... this leaves miai for me at a and b

(a) and (b) are not miai, because (b) is a very big shared point --
it has to do with the weakness of the
group:

Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm27 Prisoner Count: B-0 W-0What?! You cannot do this. You absolutely absolutely cannot do this. You MUST CUT here. If you were going to give up that original approach that easily here, you should have just played at D11 in the first place and the corner would still have been open.
Abandoning a stone like the way White has done with C14 is completely not acceptable. If you played it, you can't even begin to consider losing it without getting value out of it. Cowardice is the sure path to a loss.

Sigh, I wish I'd played G16 instead of K15... Should've listened to my instinct... Disappointed, how frustrating
. I've spent about 90 minutes reading this move out, and at best I get a pretty crappy result... But none of the alternatives look any good either... Annoying.

I see two moves for white will probably make right now... They will protect around (a) or extend (b)
if they protect at (a), I have the option to play at (b), (c), or (d)... My most likely (c) or (d) would be my choices to play...
if they extend at (b), I suppose extending at (e) would be best...
