C[Seren-35: Oh right I chat here now.
katelyndelta: lol
Seren-35: This is hard because every game you've explained to me was on a 19x19 board lmao.
Seren-35: I have no idea how they go on 9x9.
katelyndelta: haha don't worry too much

C[katelyndelta: so at this point, how would you describe the position
katelyndelta: overall
katelyndelta: like who's doing what
Seren-35: hmm
Seren-35: You have a lot of presence in the bottom left. I have two sort of disjoint bases on the left and right.
Seren-35: And you're making sure I don't get too much territory by connecting them.
katelyndelta: right
katelyndelta: good job

C[Seren-35: Okay idk how I feel about this one.
katelyndelta: not bad!
katelyndelta: it's putting pressure on that weak knight's move connection
katelyndelta: and taking territory at the same time
Seren-35: yay
katelyndelta: i think the most severe move i could do would be d7 here
katelyndelta: but it gets into more intense reading lol

C[katelyndelta: so what do you think this move is for
Seren-35: hmm
Seren-35: So I don't think it's so much for keeping my black groups separate anymore because they pretty much already were.
Seren-35: Maybe to some extent.
Seren-35: I'd imagine more so still for limiting my territory.
katelyndelta: like imagine if you ignored this move right
katelyndelta: to play somewhere else
Seren-35: You start getting a lot of the top border.
katelyndelta: at the very least, jumping into the top right a bit
Seren-35: yeah
katelyndelta: but it does have some access to the top left too
katelyndelta: so it's kind of threatening to reduce on both sides at the same time

katelyndelta: i definitely have a defect now
katelyndelta: at d4

C[katelyndelta: but first i'm going to threaten to take your stone
katelyndelta: because it gives me a little better shape for moves on the top
Seren-35: right

C[katelyndelta: and now i'll defend
Seren-35: Okay so this looks largely resolved now.
Seren-35: I just have to figure out which place is most valuable and defend/expand there.
Seren-35: Probably top left frankly.
katelyndelta: haha
katelyndelta: the top left is very much in danger of dying right now
Seren-35: lmao right
katelyndelta: like i don't want to kill it 
katelyndelta: but it is a close game

C[Seren-35: Lmao let me stare at that.
katelyndelta: no staring 
katelyndelta: play immediately
katelyndelta: go is not a thinking game
Seren-35: Like I wanna say that does not require a response?
Seren-35: But it's scary.
katelyndelta: that's the game
Seren-35: Oke I'm gonna ignore that and you might show me how it goes horribly wrong.

C[katelyndelta: (I just filled it because I owe you the move, once the neutral points were filled i would have to play it)
katelyndelta: (and score estimator doesn't always catch things like that)
Seren-35: Do I have to play another black stone at H4 or is this considered fine?
katelyndelta: score estimator? the scoring engine
katelyndelta: lol that's up to you
Seren-35: gdi
katelyndelta: you could try counting the score and seeing if you can do it and still win
katelyndelta: to be super safe
katelyndelta: or just try to read if it's a problem
Seren-35: It's currently 22-19.5 by my count.
Seren-35: So should be fine if I do.
Seren-35: Is it a problem...
Seren-35: There's no way it is.
Seren-35: Although I'm pretty sure if you chose to enter there, I'd lose points trying to stop you because this scoring system is weird.
katelyndelta: only if you placed more stones than i did
katelyndelta: because if i play a stone and it dies you get +1 point
katelyndelta: so you playing 1 stone would counterbalance that
katelyndelta: keeps it even

katelyndelta: i kept it simple and you made good decisions where they came up
Seren-35: yay
katelyndelta: [object Object\]
katelyndelta: she also
katelyndelta: played a4 instead of defending the atari at g1
katelyndelta: after thinking about it for a while
katelyndelta: which actually resulted in her winning the game
