Klaus: at least, this is bad shape for white.
, now black is realy in danger.
. On of blacks problem is, that the stones at and can't be considered to be weak! (PurpleHaze: have to love that influence!)
, still being pushed around.
PurpleHaze: (I thought you would attach above W48 instead of below Klaus: might have been better), , , ,

(Sebastian:) - Who's afraid of the White Wall?
PurpleHaze: Not me, I like white walls,
(Klaus:) Why hwere? Well first, i like Hoshi! Second, it`s at a boarderline of two crossing influence sections and tird, I am trying to meke territory....(stupid me!)
PurpleHaze: Territory? Aren't those the points under dead enemy stones? , , (I can play hoshi too),
(Klaus:) , Jep, under :)

(Sebastian:) - let's make the best of our influence. Long live the Western Wall!
PurpleHaze: ,
(Sebastian:) - I don't really like this heavy play, but I have to stick it through now.
(Sebastian:) After , it really doesn't look good for Black anymore. Black is divided into four struggling groups, while White is almost completely united and has good chances to connect the bulk of his stones with either wall. I don't see an advantage that would compensate for it, either. Maybe I should resign. But I'llstart the struggle with the group that's most oppressed. I hope I'm not reaching too far out with .
PurpleHaze: Every one of Blacks groups has a connection to a Black wall, realistically Black has two groups to Whites one,

PurpleHaze: , no plan survives contact with the enemy (Count Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke)
(Sebastian, reminded of the Economist's cartoon where Bush, sitting in a car, fatally crashed in a chasm between Israel and Palestine, triumphantly holds up a map with the words "The roadmap is still intact!":) - Let's try to return to the main path so we can fulfil the sibyllinic words "makeing miai pf".
(Sebastian:) Actually, may I retract this move (at a)? I realize now that I wouldn't know how to reply to @ b, and that the connection to the western wall is deplorably weak.
PurpleHaze: If I happened to reply to at a I would play c not b.
(Sebastian:) Still, I'm not good enough to know how to link to the western wall. Sorry if I'm a chicken.
(Klaus:)
Hey, Sebastian! don`t chiken out! Play anny move you like! You may or may not decide to sacrifice a stone, it will be interesting in anny case. Feel free and try out. Nobody here can calculate to the end. May the force be with you!
(Sebastian:) OK, I'll think about it!
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/10/3af790a24e1f868ee8fbd210143bec74.png) | Moves 21-23 |
Klaus: Adding a new page was a good idea!
PurpleHaze: , we seem to be the only ones playing
Klaus: ( ) but we are using the scattered stones, others presented us with at the beginning!
By the way, I might be offline for some time, so I suggest Sebastian and all others to make some black moves! (I feel so lonely here, out in the center, faceing 2 enormous white walls...)
My "plan" was to build a Table with a in order to cut white. If white responds at b and c, I wanted to play the ikken tobi at d, makeing miai pf the two points at e. However, this plan mus surely be altered, and white usually never plays the way I thought he would.

Klaus I decided to join the black side with
PurpleHaze: , , , ,
Klaus: , (maybe this move is to risky, so close to whites enormous thickness, but let's find out!), ,
I rearranged the page, so that we kan find the actuall position at the top.
PurpleHaze: Makes even more sense to have its own page, so I made it.

and were by an anonymous player.
Trying to attack W's weakest group. Please feel free to alter my moves - I'm probably one of the worst players here. If you do, pls add why they were bad. Sebastian 2003-09-18
Anonymous: Isn't this game going to play like "Hex"? The first person to connect opposite sides of the board is likely to win?
Hex is a nice game, but we don't have to play like it. Although, it's an option if W decides to start a mojo in the northeast.
C'mon evverybody, please join in! This is an open game where anybody can make a move. Sebastian 2003-09-19
Since no one else seems to want to continue, let's continue with my best guess. -- Sebastian 2003-09-30
: Pushing like this looks good to me. Alex Weldon
Yes, it does. Tenuki at may not have been such a good idea, since it made no use of . -- Sebastian 2003-10-07
PurpleHaze: I'll admit to playing , , , and .
