Message from Zhilao Hu (DaoLin):
<c> I am always in for some fun.
I rather like to lose an interesting game
than to win a dull one.
 
As a comment for your last two moves:
-only playing m2 is better,
-the
  • vulgar atari
    (you heard this term many times from me in the course) only strengthens white a little bit,
    as a guideline:
    -if you cannot capture something due to the atari or have another very special reason for atari-ing,
  • don't play atari!
     
    Of course, there is also a downside for me: if I lose these stones later, I will have lost 2 stones instead of one. However, as mentioned before, I do not see an immediate capture.
     
    Concluding: white has profited a tiny bit (aji) by this atari.
     
    If you were always avoiding the
  • vulgar atari your playing strength is raised dramatically.
