On move 16, if I had capped first to L15, then you can move to F12. At least without studying it again i think that's what I saw. I think it changes the out come if I'm not mistaken. Can't remember why it changes outcome unless I restudy it tho. But, anyways thats why I capped J15 first

Either im failing to recall the move sequence correctly, or i had failed to see the obvious at the time. I dont have my lap top handy currently. So ill need to come back to this. Thanks

Still can't recall at it. And was about to suggest 15. L15, H8* 16. K8*, J8
But then I realize white would be better to take M11* instead of K8*, at which point i dont see how black can recover. I'll try looking at this some more. But its likely you were correct at the time that black couldn't win even with a change to the capture sequence. At which point then I owe apology to the comment of your inability to see something at the time. Was never meant as insult of course. But, I have limited instances where I have been able to measure your sight. 1 time where I solved deep puzzle and you saw same. And 1 time where I thought I could see something you didn't see. So looks like all I know then is you can at least see things that are at my personal limits of seeing. Which means you have further sight than I do I suppose. Which doesn't surprise me actually. Since I already suspected as much in general.

I suppose pente_gon, since you can see moves better than me. And players here below my skill level are trying to determine my skill level. You have witnessed my blunders (such as the currently reviewed game, and my false win vs spavacs), and my successes in pente as well. How would you assess me, and karl, as players given what you know.
