  frakt 4k*: what do u think of the N4 peep?  I always have trouble deciding if such a thing is good or is aji keshi.
  tomh 5k : it weakens your corner but makes my stones a little heavier
  tomh 5k : it depends on the followup, could be good
  frakt 4k*: yes, came thru
  frakt 4k*: since i have no specific follow up in mind, i guess it will be luck if N4 is good

  frakt 4k*: i misread
  frakt 4k*: i think this has gone far enough, don't you?
  frakt 4k*: shall we go over it? i can reshow it
  frakt 4k*: ok
  tomh 5k : k3 looked fine
  tomh 5k : the peek at n4 meant that i had to be careful in attacking k3 so that was of use
  tomh 5k : after m5, did you consider m6?
  tomh 5k : i always look at those double hanis
  frakt 4k*: not seriously
  frakt 4k*: i thought the result would be the same as it turned out
  frakt 4k*: but i had hoped that L6 would be sente
  8 õðk*: so M6 was definitely gote
  tomh 5k : dont always do them but always look, it is best to never let oneself be pushed around -- as in Janice's last column
  frakt 4k*: and L6 was a question so i did it
  tomh 5k : i dont if m6 worked, just always look at them
  tomh 5k : l6 was not bad
  frakt 4k*: i was only going for shape
  tomh 5k : yes good shape there, helped later
  frakt 4k*: don't waste your time, game is over
  tomh 5k : n5 instead of m6 later
  frakt 4k*: i wanted to do it
  frakt 4k*: i should have...
  frakt 4k*: i chickened out
  frakt 4k*: but at least i thought of it :)
  tomh 5k : maybe c10 instead of k16 but hard to say
  tomh 5k : that would be more of an attack as well as going for terr
  frakt 4k*: good point
  frakt 4k*: F17 must have been unreasonable for white
  tomh 5k : maybe b16 instead of d14
  frakt 4k*: but attacking it seemed hard to do
  frakt 4k*: i considered C16
  frakt 4k*: is B16 better or about the same?
  tomh 5k : it was not bad, i may get cut at e16 later and i have j17, d18, f15 to run away
  tomh 5k : c13 was a waste
  frakt 4k*: agree
  tomh 5k : you got e13 and b16 in sente but they were already sendt
  frakt 4k*: of course :)
  frakt 4k*: D18 seemed timid
  tomh 5k : consider g14 instead of d18
  frakt 4k*: i wanted to push your stones at G16 toward my wall on the upper right
  frakt 4k*: i feared G14 wrong direction
  frakt 4k*: what is it building for?
  frakt 4k*: i figured u could live on top easily
  tomh 5k : g14 for center power
  frakt 4k*: by playing D18 and J18 areas
  tomh 5k : in H game, try to make w live small
  frakt 4k*: right
  tomh 5k : always
  tomh 5k : very hard to kill
  frakt 4k*: i understand that :)
  frakt 4k*: its why i pay attention to direction of attack
  frakt 4k*: if white is clever enough, no direction seems good :)
  tomh 5k : u made a lot of good moves
  frakt 4k*: I was happy to chase with K14 as i wanted Q10 next
  frakt 4k*: but R8 was good timing for w
  frakt 4k*: i think the game could have been close, no?
  frakt 4k*: but i got a bit tired and didn't read :)
  frakt 4k*: lately i have been carelss that way
  tomh 5k : possibly k14 is questionalbe
  frakt 4k*: a couple of losses and i will bear down :)
  frakt 4k*: oh
  tomh 5k : maybe pincer q8 holding r2 in reserve
  frakt 4k*: a frightening idea to me
  tomh 5k : but that is risky with peek at r5
  tomh 5k : and w at o5
  frakt 4k*: since if timing bad then w get R2 and disasster!
  tomh 5k : be can still run out with p7
  frakt 4k*: i hate to be running about like that
  frakt 4k*: with also an eyeless gropu at top
  tomh 5k : having consolidated UR corner area
  frakt 4k*: and being unsettled on right
  frakt 4k*: i think white has easy game if i have three unsettled grps like that
  tomh 5k : point of pincer was to strengthen UR
  frakt 4k*: yes.  and also bottom group not totally alive for b
  tomh 5k : anyway r2 also ok
  frakt 4k*: seemed safe to me :)
  tomh 5k : but it does make it easier for w
  tomh 5k : maybe not pincer at r12, just r14 and make large corner?
  frakt 4k*: ahh
  frakt 4k*: when white seems to be playing unreasonably i get a bit crazy and invade instantly :)
  tomh 5k : q14 is hard to attack (on 4th line) so i can leave it
  tomh 5k : right!  need to consider each move alone.  not get mad or anything:-)
  frakt 4k*: i think lately i've not been playing with my head as much
  frakt 4k*: last week or so...
  frakt 4k*: perhaps in an experiemental phase :)
  tomh 5k : after n14, there are seveal; points
  tomh 5k : h17, l17, r10, maybe o15
  tomh 5k : k12 looks like running out, not good
  frakt 4k*: ic...i think i am not properly preparing before my attacks
  frakt 4k*: at the time i thought k12 split attack...but it is not since w base not taken away yet
  tomh 5k : exactlky
  frakt 4k*: so H17 or L17 is better.  i see that now
  frakt 4k*: it is a common pattern in this game so that is likely what i am not thinking about
  tomh 5k : maybe get both :-)
  tomh 5k : after g12 maybe game is hard for b?
  tomh 5k : w groups are hard to harrass
  frakt 4k*: yeah, but it seemed w fairly small
  frakt 4k*: was the game close at all?
  tomh 5k : lkets see, w 20 UR, 20 Left, 10 lower right, 5 right
  frakt 4k*: 20 UR?
  frakt 4k*: oh, yeah
  frakt 4k*: sorry
  tomh 5k : b 10 UL, 15 LL, 15 LR, 10 UR
  tomh 5k : but b has some weak groups till
  frakt 4k*: ok
  frakt 4k*: i think you are about 2d here
  frakt 4k*: maybe 1d, but err on high side
  frakt 4k*: you mostly play on igs?
  tomh 5k : upper center and upper right
  tomh 5k : yes, only played game with I Liu here
  tomh 5k : he is 7-8dan or so
  frakt 4k*: shall i resign it now so sgf exists?
  tomh 5k : if you like i will annotatoe game with winmgt and send you copy
  frakt 4k*: or do you have more to say now?
  frakt 4k*: sure! that would be very kind of you
  frakt 4k*: i appreciate all your help
  frakt 4k*: i think recognizing that i am not preparing for attacking is valuable
  frakt 4k*: thanks for your time.
  frakt 4k*: i resign now, unless any thing else??
  tomh 5k : also dont let w push you around, always consider how to resist, good practice
  frakt 4k*: thx
