Captures and Komi

Moves 51 to 60 Herman: Build the bottom while removing aji. kb: Resign. Any more moves, because of the slow rate of choosing moves (I am also at fault here), is just pedantic. I think a great deal of learning can come from a review *now* and not later, when those involved have moved on. Anonymous: I think some commentary on R13 is in order. In retrospect it looks like a very good move, but was it?

Moves 41 to 50 unkx80: Obvious move... ThorAvaTahr: Finish local shape unkx80: Strengthen the Black group. I treat and as miai. ThorAvaTahr: connect out! unkx80: The last big move, in the opening sense. kb: Move out, attach against the stronger side unkx80: Hane. kb: Extend - natural and thick. unkx80: Extend - build a base. kb: Block (joseki).

Moves 31 to 40 Herman: Strengthen left side while leaning. ThorAvaTahr: Finishing the corner unkx80: Play at the biggest area. kb unkx80: Crawl along. kb: This must the the correct direction of play. Can White take advantage? This is a tough situation for any player, let alone amateurs ;) unkx80: It's time to settle the group. ThorAvaTahr: Defend against the peep. unkx80: Continue settling the group. ThorAvaTahr: Hane at the bottom of two?

Moves 21 to 30 unkx80: Continuation of the standard sequence. kb: Only move again. Good shape inside your opponent's influence is necessary. unkx80: Get ahead in the running fight. ThorAvaTahr: Increasing the dimensionality of the white group (1D->2D) :) ) unkx80: Prevent the group from going home. ThorAvaTahr: going home ;) unkx80: White ignored the shoulder hit, so we turn that White stone into an armpit hit. ThorAvaTahr: Get to the other side first :P (ok getting our head out ) unkx80: Now that and has done its job, it's time to approach the upper-left corner from the left side. ThorAvaTahr: Reinforce the corner
