That really comes down to how much black can harass the top right white group. If black can chase or kill them, he can sacrifice the top left stones in good conscience and be content. If he only gets a partial success in the top right, he can save his top left stones and be fine. I'm not certain or anything, but it doesn't seem like the cut is bad for sure, just a much more influential choice.
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].

$$Bcm27 Black 27

Now that I look again, though, I think a solid connection is better than this move.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

White's move seems obvious now, of course...

Just to be clear, Shaddy's last diagram is what happened in the game.

Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm31 Black 31I was 3-2 at a tournament on Saturday. Apparently I really am 2d AGA. So weird; I spent over a year each as a 2k and a 1k and only a few months as a 1d... The worst thing is I don't know what I know now that I didn't know then... :/

I started to say that C15 is obvious, but I think that Black can play K13 and deal with the bad shape if white connects at C15.

W jumps, like to G11? Seems like W doesn't want a weak group on both sides, and this side seems more urgent.
