Move 48

July 6, 2022

[12:44] SlowerCuber[5k]: i goofed the ko setup. good job snuffing

Move 52

July 7, 2022

[12:58] SlowerCuber[5k]: turns out, there is a way to survive in the corner, after all.... don't know why i couldn't see it yesterday

Move 62

July 9, 2022

[14:21] SlowerCuber[4k]: auto-clamping.... wow. Not sure how best to handle this, but pretty sure that M10 is best because it leaves black with more lib and better protects the larger quadrant (UR)

Move 64

[14:43] SlowerCuber[4k]: i really don't want the white stones on the P file to connect to the stones coming in from the left, additionally, I don't want the left stones to come into to my LR moyo, so N7 sort of stops both, but we'll see if it was dual-purpose or just a compromise as the play continues

Move 65

[14:44] SlowerCuber[4k]: the challenge for black, now, will be to keep the P file stones from making life

[14:44] SlowerCuber[4k]: or failing that, to constrain their life to the smallest area

Move 66

[14:52] SlowerCuber[4k]: N4 would be another quasi-compromise move.... to strengthen the knight's connections and discourage white entry into the bottom of the moyo... but if the black stones are strong enough, entry should be encouraged! "Come into my parlor ..." etc

Move 67

[14:53] SlowerCuber[4k]: hopefully, I'll have a chance to strengthen the O11 area soon

Move 105

July 14, 2022

[15:50] SlowerCuber[4k]: looks like I've contained the nascent dragon. will have to watch for eyes forming at P11 and O13, maybe even P9

[15:51] SlowerCuber[4k]: will ladder M15 or P15 at the first opportunity

[15:52] SlowerCuber[4k]: actually, P15 may already be netted in, so focus of capture will be M15, if W M16, N17 might be warranted

Move 123

July 17, 2022

[14:40] SlowerCuber[4k]: I think if I get sente again, I may spend it with M8

Move 125

[14:45] SlowerCuber[4k]: taking L8 off the board makes W j8 less forcing (with L8 present, W J8 costs b 5 points, without L8 just one)
