@ Bill

Strategery :) I'm hoping my tiny dragon will grow and consume everything around it. Tiny dragons are vulnerable though, especially in square Oust, so it may not work.

If I understand the rules properly, :w6:, threatening either to followup at b or connect & capture at a looks very strong for White. It seems like it would be hard to ever capture the four stone group locally.

Are you guys reading each other's hidden comments? :shock:

Luigi, I think that's a case where Topazg saw the correction from the board, and it just happened to match Mark's hidden comments. Unless they're not following our usual convention and reading hidden comments.
Seems I had rules blindness. The stone that forms a connection needn't itself be adjacent to an enemy stone.

P.S. Assuming Mark read my comment, he was way ahead of where I was, so there was no harm done.

Ohhhh, I thought the hiding was just to save space, and not interrupt the visual flow. I've been reading all the hidden comments, but I'll stop doing that now unless there's an "@ Mark".

I do invite Graham to read my hidden comments though in this particular demo game.

As I said in my comment, you were so far ahead of me that I think there's no harm done in having read what I wrote.

@luigi: It's the 2nd time in a row I've made a diagram error, I was getting frustrated with myself, that's all :)

The previous time you can't see (as I deleted and reposted so it would turn up as unread for Mark), but I made a capture and didn't make a subsequent move, and poor Mark had to PM me to get my butt in gear - then I go and mess up the move numbering :P

The "My bad, thanks" wasn't supposed to be in hide tags at all
