No move yet, just some thinking.

I am sorely tempted to cut, but I must carefully evaluate his threat:

Can black fight his way out? I must think about this a while before I play.

Can anyone tell me why that bottom isn't unconditionally alive for Black? I can see sequences that force him to let go of a stone or two if White plays locally first, but I can't find a sequence where Black just dies if he cannot run out to the middle - two internal eyes seem guaranteed one way or the other regardless?

I think white's threat was too strong. I must move out with the right side group.

Weak groups are still the focus of this game. I outflank his with mine. This also casts some influence over the left side.

meh, this is looking worse as I go. I am having to make so many concessions to the weakness of my bottom group. I really wish now that I had just played at N4 instead of P2 when I first invaded the bottom. My reading was that I could live unconditionally, but that was wrong, and I have been paying for it and will keep on doing so. grrrr

I am completely baffled now, I don't know what to do. It's too complicated and I can't see what will happen. Ususally when I get that feeling I end up resigning within 20 moves or so :sad:

White's centre around M12 is too thin.
