he still wants to take liberties oh well, back to the action later, maybe he is looking to profit from a ko fight he has a few good threats

As previously discussed, I might as well get this move in. I hope he responds, of course - but if he doesn't then I can at least effect a fairly major reduction of his territory.

Once again, I find myself surprised. As far as I can tell, the sensible options for white were to either capture my group in the lower-left, or respond to my ko threat (presumably trying to still win the ko later but at less cost). Instead, he seems to have responded with a ko threat of his own - which is strange as I haven't just taken the ko :scratch:

So I'm going to respond by doing the obvious and taking the ko myself. I can now actually win the semeai in the lower left, although it will mean ignoring a ko threat of white's. Letting white get J7 in, saving his stone, is undoubtedly a fairly major loss, but a lot less so than losing the capturing race. I'm almost certainly still behind, but surely this was a major mistake from white, and I feel I may have a realistic chance in this game again.

Although I'll doubtless wonder why I said that in a few moves time...

he looks like he is going for the kill on those five stones around a6, im continuing gain influence in the center, hopefully he plays another move in the corner so i can contiune to compensate elsewhere, as far as ko threats i have g19 but i will hurt me more than help me because black has a few more threasts

Right, so I win the capturing race, and with unexpected ease :D Of course, in doing so I had to give up quite a lot of points in the lower-central region (perhaps I can rescue something here, although I'm not sure - it's something I need to read in more details), and my opponent now has sente too. OTOH, I did get G18 in, and will get at least one nice followup from that. I'm definitely behind, but I feel like I'm right back in the game now - and am certain 1986 could have done a lot better had he just played out the ko in the usual fashion. But what do I know? ;-)

Rest assured that I accept the trigger :D I need a bit longer to decide on my next move though.
:w14: looks logical enough, but I'm very surprised he put the 12/13 exchange in first - surely that's no more than a wasted ko threat?

Anyway, now I guess I need to figure out where I should play next...

Apologies - I don't think I'll be making a move tonight.

Despite what I said about 1986's plays being more generous to me than they might have been - which I still believe is true - now I see the position which has resulted I'm actually seriously considering resignation at this point. Those "quite a lot of points" I just lost around J6 are actually pretty enormous - white has the entire lower portion of the board (something I went out of my way to avoid earlier in the game, and had succeeded in until being forced to play a serious of unfavourable kos). I'm think I'm around 20 points behind, if not more, and don't see any way back from here unless I can somehow bring some of those stones back to life. And I don't see how that's possible - there clearly isn't remotely enough space to live independently (even one eye would be something of an achievement...), and all of his stones look well-enough connected to obviously living ones that I don't see how to capture any either. I don't think white has to do anything more now than to just keep H5 alive.

Still, I'm going to sleep on it, and perhaps see if I can see anything tomorrow.

@Robinz:
I'm much too lazy to count this, but I hope you'll do (and post!) a precise count before resigning.

By my rough count white's ahead by about 6 points. I think it's too close to resign just yet, especially at this skill level.

OK, trying again, more carefully...
White:
Upper Left: 25
Upper Right: 6
Bottom: 48 (ish?)
komi: 6.5
total = 85.5

Black:
Prisoner diff: 17
Left: 15 ?
Top: 8
Right: 25
total = 65

:oops: Not sure where I hallucinated before, possibly didn't carry a 10 when adding somewhere...

Easily done :) I normally do that in my own games sadly :P
