4:24:05 PM presjpolk: *pulls up board*
4:24:13 PM presjpolk: if I Defend at L5
4:24:17 PM theniborris: i wasn't convinced luckay had achieved life i guess
4:24:17 PM presjpolk: he plays O7 for two assured eyes
4:24:26 PM presjpolk: if I try to stop the O7 eye
4:24:35 PM presjpolk: he plays L5 and is assured to connect to the bottom
4:24:41 PM presjpolk: where he can get one eye easy
4:25:03 PM theniborris: oh he was threatening to break through the bottom
4:25:06 PM presjpolk: yes
4:25:14 PM presjpolk: L5 was his devastating implication
4:25:19 PM presjpolk: he thought I might not see it
4:25:22 PM presjpolk: but I saw it and resigned instantly
4:25:23 PM presjpolk: heh

If this were a realtime game I'd have tried to attack the left side as some wild desperation, heh. Could have been fun, but I just don't have the heart to do it when this desperate experiment could take a week.
