This is a handicap game I played on Game Center against helgebas. This is the smallest handicap: move (as white) plus zero rows. So the swap move was not available to me as black. Prior to this game, helgebas beat me easily with move+2 rows.
I believe 5.K13 does not block black along the bottom well enough. 5.p15 would have been much better.

You are right, My resignation was too fast, may be. but, skirmish of bottom looks too complex for me. in any case I must be lose.
And you are right too, at opening of this game, 5,k13 was force nothing to black k15. That time of this game, I was afraid of connect of m10 and k15. ex. using k11 or j13. so I took k13.

today, I talk with yupineapple on discord. He said "white q12 instead of q14", and I agree. How do you think white q12 instead of q14? and where to move black p7as new respond to q12 as my new right arm?
If white had played 9.q12 instead of Q14, then suppose black had responded exactly the same way, with 10.p7 how does white win this? Without the white peg on Q14, white T17 is not as strong any more. I mentioned to you that white can attack with 11.h6 but after 12.g713.j714.j10 then black G7 can become a double threat. Heh, this Q12 was your idea, so you tell me how white wins. :-)
|1.M12 2.M10 3.H10 4.K15 5.K13 6.O17 7.G15 8.H5 9.Q14 10.P7 11.M8 12.M6 13.J6 14.I6 15.L5 16.L4 17.H7 18.J4 19.resign
I start at the end and work backwards.
I believe resignation may have been premature. white could have forced the battle to shift to the bottom half with 19.d6, for example 20.g7 21.e8 22.f13 23.g9 24.l20 black threatens either J13 or G20 on the left. Play might continue 25.i14 26.g20 27.t17 28.s21 29.q20 30.p22 31.n21 32.m21 33.m19 34.n23 35.k20 36.j21 and black wins in this instance, but I could easily have missed something.
Instead of H7, 17.m7 18.n8 19.k3 20.j8 21.l9 22.k9 or 21.l10 22.l7
15.h7 16.k5 17.d6 is similar to the d6 line at the start of my commentary.
11.h6 12.j13 13.i12 14.l20 is also similar to the D6 line.

I don't know if I prefer black or white in this position, seems just unclear.
Thank you for your analize. You are right, if there is not q14, white can not connect to bottom of board.

I must think about this game more carefully.
