rsun [4d\]: I almost never play b15... so I'm not sure what the best followup is
Excalibor [6k\]: w d13 looks a bit too agressive, but shows some possibilities, doesn't it?

USGO1 [-\]: who was suggesting o15/n15 earlier?
rsun [4d\]: w can make 50 points at most in this game
rsun [4d\]: why?
calgacus [2d\]: I am sure many kgs players would have answered e11 with e10
rsun [4d\]: some may even c11
ratsbag [4d?\]: funny might be rare occasion when e2 good for w  break thru at e4  not great
gogrok: 50 points seems not right. Left side alone looks like 50 points
goren2 [3k\]: i think might have been me and some 1d.  why?
wolokom [4k\]: which is better l 16 or m 17?
calgacus [2d\]: "Sacrifice? me, never!"

Uberdude [4d?\]: problem is i'm not strong enough
wolokom [4k\]: but w has moore then before
Uberdude [4d?\]: i like w result on top

Uberdude [4d?\]: q18 connecting
Uberdude [4d?\]: so huge to make top group safe
