I'm playing the extremely aggressive Q9 for "fighting spirit" purposes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

this is about to get very ugly

[Neil S]

Let's go with the pure and simple threat to capture.

let's go with the pure and simple escape from capture.
edit: it occurs to me that this lengthy move thing is no real use, unlike chess

a one liner is good enough

[Neil S]

I suppose P10 was too much to hope for from you :-)

[LuckayLuck]

now that you say, P10 would be a freaking good move, yeah [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm glad I didn't play p10

Alright, I have dinner in front of me, I'm done with the sudoku and the sheep. Let's play some go.

Threaten the P8 stone now. Not so tough now are you?

Luckay, if you play P7 to escape, I then play O10 to guard my cutting points, threaten to connect to the upper right, and give myself easy access to the center.

hm i sure didnt see this.. but it seems like it would work out very well for black.

[Neil S]

Actually I thought P10 would give me plenty of room to blow a hole in the middle of that potential territory, then escape thanks to the great shape I'd then get from the capture.

But I could be wrong. How good are you chiachu? heh
