Check-in Time for Round 21: 2021-12-21T07:00:00Z
Maharanis move was a bit late but hit a good spot 
By the way, I know that Feijoa prefers that players who missed their move are announced publicly, but how do the others think about it?
The alternative would be to remind these players privately and publicly only reveal that some submissions are missing.
I feel a bit bad about putting someone on the spot like that, although the intention is not to make this person feel bad.
I have no preference
I think public reminders are alright.
More than half of us have been publicly reminded anyway 
Also, the rest could have already used backup moves for all we know 
I will play a “thick move”.
Ugh, my stone at S12 looks dead too, so I’ll block at P14 instead hoping not to collide.

It’s going to take two moves to kill my group so I think we can still kill the four pink-black stones. @yebellz want to do it? I can play R11.
Sounds good!
As far as I understand it, those four pink-black stones are connected to my Q10 group and cannot be captured independently from them…?
@Maharani Please think about it for a bit - here is a relevant quote that should help:
Can you point out the black- and the red-chain that the four (red/black)-stones are part of?
Here is that quote in context:
I think I falsely deduced from that that a stone’s primary colour (black/white) took priority over its secondary colour as far liberties are concerned. (In that example, R9 would have been captured despite being part of a blue chain, because it was a “black chain consisting of one stone”).
Which, thinking more about it, would mean that the secondary colour is only ever cosmetic, and my assumption nonsensical…
Okay, duh, so if a group of stones includes a liberty-less chain of a given colour, that chain is removed from the board, regardless of what other colour-chains with liberties those stones may be a part of. Makes much more sense 
How about this: @Jon_Ko plays T11, @Maharani T13 and I play P10, then we will almost certainly capture the S12 stones (assuming Feijoa is indeed going to attempt capturing me instead of defending) and it’s impossible to kill the Q12 stones.
Oh this is complicated.
I was thinking it would be fun to try to collide with you in every move from here on in the T column, but that would take too much psychology 
Okay, let’s do this. @Maharani are you in? @Vsotvep, if Team white announces to play moves that interfere with our plan, you should also consider O10 and T14.
I think I can’t really risk not playing P10, but I was contemplating whether @Maharani should consider T13 or T14, in case Feijoa tries to walk
Well, at least @terrific will get a free move in the corner. Or if you guys somehow mis-coordinate this it could get really fun.
