Me\: If black 'a' next I planned to resign, since my position is utterly hopeless. I'd been building thickness in the hopes of somehow getting some kind of attack going, but it was a desperate hope]

;W[cf]LB[ag:a]C[Takisawa was cracking up while we were replaying this since we both missed the throw in at 'a'. If black throws in our eyespaces are the same size and it is seki. If W 'a' white has a bigger eyespace and it is no longer seki. Both players missed this until the end, so it's not really fair to say that white "won" this game at all.

Although I technically won, based on how I played I consider this a loss]

;B[rd]C[A few moves later white realized it wasn't seki after all, played 'a' and captured all those black stones.]LB[ag:a]
