C[It was difficult for me to chose between this one and the magari, resp. hane-osae f9.

It would be interesting to ask for a commentary later on this game.]

C[This move may not seem necessary, because in my opinion the aji comprising the points c2, a2 and d4 leads only in wrong variants to manen-ko-type seki or, more serious, to capture.

At the moment Black is ahead, who cares wether its 25 or 24 points?
A seki would reduce it by 12 points giving still a comfortable lead of 13 points. However, the risk includes to lose the whole corner by some slip or unforeseen move. I bring myself to play this could-be superfluous, defensive move and think "It's still the right attitude".

Gary, I thank you for the game! If there had not been the white gote q2 (the corner was already alive; perhaps played after the 7 hours drive returning from the music festival?), White would have had sente to give the black m3 group a hard time, develop some center territory and press and/or? invade the right side.

After that, Black could play safe.

For the moment I have to stop my DGS activities, it costs too much time. The temptation to have a glimpse at the games during work time is too big and disturbing. I would like play again with you , giving you a return match. Do you play on KGS?]
