PGB231
   

[Diagram]
Diag.: Position after black 231


The previous move (black 231) was a horrible mistake.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Moves 232-341

Note: White had to play a big sente yose move at 'a'. It was urgent. White misses a chance here.

White 1: cuts off black stones from the main sources.

Black 2: threatens to connect. If black does not make this move white will end cut off playing there in sente.

White 3: finishes the cut-off.

Black 4: a good yose move, reducing white's territory in sente.

White 5: putting 2 black stones under atari white stops black in this place.

Black 6: naturally conects. Black does not lose a sente here.

White 7: fighting for the initiative. It seems to white that 2 stones at the bottom give more points than the entire right side territory. White does not win anything with this move however.

Black 8: defends 2 stones. Usually I prefer a solid connection at 2 in such situations as it leaves less ko-threats.

White 9: Defends a small territory on the right side.

Black 10: A threat to cut.
