BenAxelrod: - I don't think white has any chance to kill black on the bottom or cut, but i do think E4 is a good move for white.
Klaus: So me and Frs switch sides again, and I turn out to move for the losing party! has got to be played. Trying to kill is verry intresting.
Frs: -- An attempt to kill Black at the bottom; forcing Black H4. White's threat is to cut Black via F3 and E4.
Ben Axelrod:
Frs:
Ben Axelrod: -- not a big move, but required

Ben Axelrod: -- That corner is mine!
Frs: -- Prevents a monkey jump.
Klaus: -- No cut, no fight. White should play big endgame moves now.
David:
David: Why are Klaus and Frs playing both sides?
Klaus: Sorry, if that bothers you. I will stop that and stay on the white side.  was used to keep the game going (and I thought, it was a good move anyway.)
Frs: Because I always try to play the best move, no matter if I play Black or White (or both colors). In my opion, there is nothing wrong in switching sides, but -ok- I should have earlier stated the main intention of this game: To experiment a little with 13x9, and to watch how it develops when anyone is invited to submit the next move. You may play both colors, but please don't submit the next move if you have already submitted the last move.
Ben Axelrod: -- White can't cut, but can put the pressure on.
Klaus:
Klaus:  was no cut at all! White should have played at around E7 to split Black.
Frs: After  , White needed to claim a little slice of terrotority. In my opion,  was a wasted move. Ok,  established a connection. But in my opion, there was no need to connect those stones or to give away (waste) the possible initiative for cutting (or claiming territority).

Klaus: You might be right, Frs! However, I had a plan, playing  : after white has connected his stones, he threatens to cut at 3, 4 or a. I hoped, this might isolate and kill some black stones, but I am to weak to read it out. Any comments?
Frs:
Ben Axelrod:
Klaus: White still needs to catch up, so the next move is going to be a severe cut (hopefully), but a save move first.

Benjamin Geiger:
Klaus: -- I just dicovered this page, so I thought I might add a move. (I hope not to disturb you.) Lets make it complicated!
Frs: -- Ok, I'm shifting into Twixt mode, too: It's much easier for Black to connect sides vertical on the k-column than for White to connect sides horizontal on the 5-line. ;o)
Pedro: -- I'll let you chose :)
Frs: -- Which corner do you want?
Pedro: -- That stone on the upper right corner is much too loose, but I think White needs to play safe for the time being.
Frs:

Pedro: -- the cut one point above worries me, but cutting and connecting is what Go is all about.
Frs: , an aggressive corner invasion. White can choose if Black connects either to or to . -- I also considered to play at b to claim territory at the top ...
Pedro: starting to make a safe base for .
Frs: Securing the bottom right corner with a large knight's move at .
incognito:
BIB: . Divide and conquer.
Frs:
Pedro: what a strange board
also thought of F3 (a), but preferred -- it's both a corner move, an approach move and (maybe even) an extension of .
Frs:
Pedro: , just a start.
