Eggplant [2d\]: yikes
rsun [-\]: when w n1 b just o2
Eggplant [2d\]: your right

GoNoob [4d\]: not sure if it's a good idea to follow my hunch :(
Woods [6d\]: With a name like this,for sure its a good idea
GoNoob [4d\]: but there might be a chance to caputre black stones
Woods [6d\]: White is a bit thin to do that
Woods [6d\]: But he has no choice
GoNoob [4d\]: perhaps
a1328 [3k\]: 13 was Not?
Woods [6d\]: f13 you mean?
michi2009 [6d\]: l10?
a1328 [3k\]: G13

rsun [-\]: if it works
GoNoob [4d\]: whoa michi

GoNoob [4d\]: but big price to pay
rsun [-\]: w has 20 points
kmr [2d\]: thats bad.....
Eggplant [2d\]: hahah :) really rsun?
rsun [-\]: b right side = w whole board
GoNoob [4d\]: black should play l10 
]
;B[ec]C[GoNoob [4d\]: it's big
GoNoob [4d\]: good thing eric doesn't think like me
rsun [-\]: w already alive so he doesn't care about attacking
GoNoob [4d\]: l10 is not about attacking

;B[lc]C[pilotpirx [3d?\]: s14
GoNoob [4d\]: eric obviously think side is bigger
michi2009 [5d\]: yeah, i like l10
GoNoob [4d\]: but m17 seem like overplay
kmr [2d\]: M17...move like black thinks he is behind.Why not sth safe?Maybe this is safe :)
a1328 [3k\]: b is busy now
Eggplant [2d\]: l10 woudl be gote for b right? so w woud just take a big points?
agakenny [3d\]: M17 is very safe
]
;W[jc]C[rsun [-\]: l10 very thick, but thickness doesn't seem valuable atm
michi2009 [5d\]: yeah, but b very thick and has enough points already
michi2009 [5d\]: h17 now
kmr [2d\]: i would H17 now as black
GoNoob [4d\]: especially after e17 c15 exchange
kmr [2d\]: yeah :D
GoNoob [4d\]: seem playihg l10 for b is enough
GoNoob [4d\]: why stir the pot with m17
kmr [2d\]: L10 now is asking for troubles imho
GoNoob [4d\]: before m17 black play l10
Eggplant [2d\]: H17
GoNoob [4d\]: if black h17 why play m17?
kmr [2d\]: H17 by acclamation, Eric must play ;)
GoNoob [4d\]: why not just play j17 after e17 and leave m17 and l10 miai
pilotpirx [3d?\]: why w cannot kill b group at bottom

GoNoob [4d\]: black appears to be just alive bottom
Eggplant [2d\]: yeah  we told you that
kmr [2d\]: M15 inexplicable, or like black would say with this move "This is so inferior, yet its way more than enugh"
GoNoob [4d\]: i was talking to pilotpirx
