kinda proud of this one. he took some time to think after this.
in my mind killing the c14 group is not realistic bc the corner only holds 4 liberties for blk where white has decent eye potenial and forcing moves vs the two stones at b13 so i decide to sacrafice to gain some momentum elsewhere.
this wall for black is not really worth it but white only really got 24 + a narrow gap of 12 pts and for the amount of stones invested blacks potential with this wall is a good enough exchange that I wouldnt feel bad as black especially gaining sente.
is this a realistic fight?
not possible to live so have to look back further to find my unreasonable move.
and promptly fall on my face
as i lost out in mid bottom I just want a base at this point so i go for attach joseki.
this variation is me trying to squeese value out of the board position and retain sente . i just want some value and maybe some eye space before I try to run out.
ko for life? this early in game its just a win for white as early game as nothing worth the sacked stones with one move.
i beleived I was in a good positon here blocking off those two stones however I didnt see this move for some reason coming up.
why didnt white do this?!
