So please show us. If one of your colleagues can find a flaw in it, Fwiffo can revert to his original suggestion and we can tenuki to the upper left.

EDIT: Never mind. I agree with you.

I think we are alive... I'm not sure I see a way for white to kill us.. so fwiffo's suggestion could be played...

@Observers:
I'd be interested to know if any observers have read out this corner? It seems to be giving both sides a headache, and my DDK reading skills aren't up to the task. Is that black group alive?

Tamara:
It's almost certainly dead if black doesn't add a move, according to my reading.

Well Jordus, Jedo and I have suggested moves that try to live and I rescinded my tenuki. We're just waiting on you, so you can re-suggest my tenuki, or suggest another move to live, or suggest a different tenuki (even though mine is impossible to improve on :mrgreen:.)

Black Suggestion:
I will re-suggest Fwiffos original move. I really think we can live if white decides to attack us.

WIC/suggestion:

I think we can afford to tenuki here. I'm not sure if we want to. If we play locally, I think the best spot is around P2/P3, but because I'm bad at reading, I will let someone else to suggest a local play (if necessary).

On the global side, after recent development, the top-left center has become very interesting. I think we have two ways to focus our attention there, either by first playing in the top-left corner (e.g. E17), and if we get sente there playing in the top center. The other approach is to play top center first, and it starts to look more and more appealing to me. Therefore I suggest:

As TJ suggested a tenuki and I'm betting Red will suggest one in the top left, I'll suggest a local followup. First, let's squeeze the base tighter, then we can maybe jump. With this jump, if we can prevent an eye at 'a', we can threaten something like 'b'. I have no clue if it would work, but it seems likely to be sente. Also, if this doesn't work locally., I think nothing does. If Topazg thinks we can't kill the corner, I think he should ignore this and take a tenuki. I know I should read out all followups, but I'm having a hard time doing it. I do have to wonder about something like 'c'. The thickness seems pretty impressive...

I don't think we can prevent an eye at 'a' with the jump:

e: I believe that if we want to have a chance of killing the corner we would have to start with either P2 or P3 instead of P4
