@Maharani, @Vsotvep, if you want my help somewhere, just tell me.

Looks like that’s under control so I’ll kill the blue stone.

Wait, @yebellz @Feijoa we probably need to rethink our moves.
Well, it seems we end up with a similiar position if playing differently. So maybe let’s not bother and see what happens next round.

Occupying neutral points in what otherwise would be considered dame as a good strategy, it kind of saves them for later when I or @Maharani have time to play dame (as I think we should at the moment probably focus on connecting and expanding).
Another idea may be to remove eyespace from the Pink group in the lower right, perhaps we can get to some kind of “inverse seki” position (mutually dead) with the green group next to it, and it’s not certain then which group will survive longer.

Please elaborate…?!

Well, the green stones at the bottom do not have the four eyes required to be alive, but neither does the pink group yet. I don’t know which of the two will be captured first, or if the pink group will be able to make 4 eyes, but we should aim for capturing the pink stones.
Especially if we manage to connect the Blue-Black chain in such a way that the Blue-White chain becomes cut off from the left side.
I meant “mutually dead” in the sense that mutual life / seki is a situation where two opposing groups are only alive because the other group cannot capture it without being captured first. Mutually dead would be two groups that are both dead, unless the other group is captured first.

Like both groups being captured at the same time? That’s the only way I can think of a mutual death.
For example. You could also see it as a seki, but seki doesn’t really exist in a game with simultaneous moves.
Anyway, it’s not the terminology that’s the main point, I think the pink group is killable, that’s what I wanted to point out.

@yebellz, when the green chain dies, let’s play N6 and N7 and try to trick them so that Blue-Black collides with my stone and yours gets to live.
For now I’ll work on killing Black chains on the bottom.
Also @martin3141 it’s really Round 84.

Right, thank you! I edited the post accordingly.

I’ll reduce the liberties of the black chain as well. There are 8 moves we can play. To avoid collision, I’ll play one of the 4 candidate moves: F3, F4, L1, L2
Actually, green L2 seems good. I’ll leave that move to you. Also, let’s leave 2 or 3 liberty reducing moves to @yebellz , since I am not seeing anything emergent blue.

Currently there is no round 82 and it says “Round 83” twice, so I think the first round 83 actually is round 82.

Yes that makes a lot of sense!
