[17:13] Andre🍃[1k]: You were about to kill i would resign too

[17:13] HowToPlay?[3d]: black still wins point wise though

[17:13] herbie[4k]: right it was still going to be hard for me to win

[17:13] Andre🍃[1k]: Good point

[17:13] HowToPlay?[3d]: Variation: 1

[17:14] HowToPlay?[3d]: Variation: 2

[17:14] herbie[4k]: Variation: especially if this happens

[17:14] HowToPlay?[3d]: either way black should be happy

[17:14] Andre🍃[1k]: Congrats herbie

[17:14] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: better

[17:14] Andre🍃[1k]: I made it to rd 2 as well

[17:14] Andre🍃[1k]: Sbould be fun tourney

[17:14] herbie[4k]: I know, I'll have to do better though ^^

[17:15] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: see my variation veryone ^^

[17:15] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: b just missed his chance ^^

[17:15] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: to live with killing the d6 group ^^

[17:15] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: better v2

[17:16] herbie[4k]: Variation: if b did that white could live int eh corner

[17:17] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: let me see^^

[17:17] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: why not ?

[17:17] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: b has sente

[17:18] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: example of sente

[17:18] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: b+ by far in that situation

[17:19] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: w dead ^^

[17:19] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: oh nvm lol

[17:19] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: w dead ^^ v2

[17:20] herbie[4k]: honestly after c9 it's probably black's game

[17:20] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: yes ^^

[17:20] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: but b didnt see he could live ^^

[17:21] herbie[4k]: black prob just overestimated the worth of the stones that would be captured

[17:21] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: either top or bottom dies for w ^^

[17:21] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: no ^^

[17:21] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: he just made a mistake

[17:21] herbie[4k]: I mean at the end

[17:21] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: this

[17:21] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: this is a big mistake ^^

[17:22] herbie[4k]: I don't know that it's that huge of a mistake b can play e5 anytime

[17:22] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: not anytime ^^

[17:22] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: because

[17:22] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: if w plays e5 he is safe

[17:22] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: and b e5 is self atari later

[17:23] herbie[4k]: at one point of the ko, yes

[17:23] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: self atari

[17:23] herbie[4k]: but even so black was winning even without e5

[17:23] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: so b7 was just a big mistake ^^

[17:23] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: as soon as he lost the ko, b died ^^

[17:23] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: its his mistake ^^

[17:23] herbie[4k]: he didn't die?

[17:23] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: fatal^^

[17:23] herbie[4k]: look at the above variations from HowToPlay?

[17:24] herbie[4k]: even when black resigned he still had a big chance of wining

[17:24] herbie[4k]: winning

[17:24] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: lets see

[17:24] herbie[4k]: I just got lucky this game

[17:24] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: theres no way w woudlnt kill ^^

[17:25] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: better, even though b+

[17:25] herbie[4k]: kill what?

[17:25] herbie[4k]: when black resigned w would have won the ko, sure

[17:25] herbie[4k]: but then black gets the chance at a huge reduction

[17:26] herbie[4k]: black should have played h3 now

[17:26] herbie[4k]: I had already determined I would ignore anything he played and play f8, settling the ko

[17:26] herbie[4k]: then deal with the reduction as best I could

[17:27] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: well

[17:27] herbie[4k]: even if I lost then it would be by .5 maybe

[17:27] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: but as i said

[17:27] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: you can reduce

[17:27] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: but w would let himself reduced i think

[17:27] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: because defending the reduction is not worth for w

[17:28] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: defending the reduction makes w win a little more points, but then w looses all the black top stones

[17:28] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: overall w should ignore the reduction and kill ^^

[17:28] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: i think ^^

[17:29] herbie[4k]: Variation: this is really bad for white

[17:29] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: i know

[17:30] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: ^^

[17:30] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: i just did the same ^^

[17:30] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: i did the same var, but if w defends it, he looses more

[17:30] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: at top

[17:30] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: so this was a big mistake actually ^^

[17:31] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: like this w can just resign ^^

[17:31] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: anyways

[17:31] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: ty and cya ^^

[17:32] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: as i said b has sente, and w gets only 2 points at top...

[17:32] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: for example

[17:34] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: Variation: w dead for example ^^

[17:34] metaphysician splurgist :)[9k]: anywas cya ^^
