PGB141
Big white dragon at the top is still eyeless. A small group to the left lives, but black connected his stones. Within the next 10 moves white will take a very advenerous decision that did not work.
With 1 white tries to live on the right side. Black 2 limits white and forces a reply.
White 3 on the main diargam is an adventurous decision. White saw the life, of course, but at this moment white has seen a possibility of some complicaitons that were too difficult to read and decided to see what happens. Black 4 makes sure that the white group to the right could not build 2 eyes. White 5 cuts looking for complications. Black 6 is a nozoki which white cound not ignore taking into account unstable position of the group at the top. So white connects with 7. Black 8 tries to separate white groups and white realizes that the combination does not work as planned. Maximum what white can do was to build life in gote sacrificing 4 stones.
So, in hope to have something more, white continues with 9, black separates white groups with 10 on the main diagram. White should have played as shown on the last diagram. White would have a half an eye for the top dragon (plus a ko) and would destroy almost all black territories. After that black would probably invade at the bottom and the game would approximately on even. Next PGB131 This is a copy of the living page "PGB141" at Sensei's Library.
