That is two tips more than anyone else. I appreciate the feedback Magicwand! I don't believe I will ever come anywhere close to to 6d. I became content with the game around 6k and any progress made past that point is just a byproduct of enjoying playing and thinking about go. :)

A ko? I thought I was going to get a ko in the game with my descent, but my reading was not good enough. I didn't consider his correct response.

That's correct. This is one of those common shapes you can keep in mind instead of reading it out every time you meet them ;-)
