A seki sharing thread

In a recent game, there was aji in the upper left corner. I probably took a bit of a risk in answering a bunch of sente ish pushes and Ataris (I mean they weren’t sente because of this upper left aji) that my opponent had planned with conditional moves but then they didn’t see the aji and I got to try to do something.

Some aji

If you follow one of a few katago variations, there’s the potential for white to fight a ko

Or save with a seki like below but it’s not good enough to win the game

How the actual game went was

and then a trade

and black is winning
