Ah, ok. So B has 11 captures and 60 prisoners (if my move is accepted), and W has 1 capture and 64 prisoners. Shall we accept shapenaji's suggestion, and only track prisoners from here on out?

I don't really care either way, worst case scenario, we count Chinese and backtrack all of the changes the upper level players have made.

Also, I've never seen a sledge go later than second pick. I've never had the luxury of multiple sledges. You sack.

But multiple Fangrens? That's like every other draft for me.

I should really make an off topic thread for this.

Also, approved.

Time to live, I suppose. So, it looks like we can threaten this group a little, and then we need to make some points on bottom with our thickness. Or perhaps we can start a fight in the middle, or something. Regardless, living is first.


Sorry, I'd missed Violence's approval

I think this is by far the best move. If W doesn't play O16, we can connect and then (I think) he has to live in gote. If W responds, we get L18.

I haven't read out exactly how we're going to live. Our potential eyespace is small, and W has four different moves to reduce it. I'm pretty sure, though, that we can protect our eyespace as it stands with moves that threaten to kill W.

So black will connect, and White will live in sente:
Edit: Just realized I didn't know how Black can live... need to do more reading.
