More about this one

After N14 black can seal white in and white doesn’t have two eyes. But it’s risky for black to kill. For example, N14, O14, N13, Q14, N15, R15, S14, S15, black’s corner is dangerous. Therefore, after blocking white I’d go for P8 cut as black

Ah, only now I realized that you were answering for the two different boards :sweat_smile:

O14 was my original plan in that game, but it doesn’t work:

L7 is indeed the correct move on the last board :smiley:

This squeeze gains 1 liberty and wins the capturing race:

I will read later, my first thought is N6

Edit: ok, final answer.

76

Huh? :smiley:

77

After N6, O6 makes two eyes!

My first thought is O3 (edit: doesn’t work).

It’s the same stupid looking shape that Kitani famously played against Shusai in the Meijin’s retirement game.

I figured this was the game you were referring to, but didn’t remember any big groups dying, so didn’t make the connection :stuck_out_tongue:
