black mistake gets group killed

I can't remember all the other stones around, but 1 should have been at 2 to protect this group. As it was, the group was killed.

black mistake gets group killed O RLY ?!?

Kendoka?: alive - can even play around a , b also makes life

Phelan: I think you might not have carefully read what he wrote: "I can't remember all the other stones around". To me, this phrase implies that there is more information that has not been given. Was the group surrounded by stones? How many liberties did it have? Did it happen on the side, like the diagram indicates, or on the lower left corner, like you assumed? Ted, could you provide more details about this?
Besides, shouting "O RLY ?!?" is not the best way to start when giving advice, in my opinion.

Kendoka?: Sorry about that, I couldn't resist ^^ (but he should at least remember that there has to be a W stone at 5, and I don't get the purpose of posting this situation, saying playing at 2 would save the group w/o the stones around... why would it save black ?...) and white 4 is totally useless even with a white stone at 5, 0points in gote, doesn't kill anything, no purpose ?!?!

Kendoka?: Here it makes sense black plays 1-> dead , black plays 2 -> alive
