|23.p12 looks lots better -- wish I'd seen it at the time

Yes that would have been a clear win for white. I'm surprised I managed to win since I felt I was in an inferior position quite early on.

Move 7. n15 is a mistake. The purpose of playing L16 is to start a ladder chase angling back to go up the left side where your D3 would be an advantage. |7.j17 8.j19 9.f18

accepted

but doesn't "The bot suggests |12.v20" have some implications for the Medcalf Defense? I think David has been saying that for a while.

|12.v20 is a specific move in a specific situation. I'm not sure what you expect Steven to say. Of course it has some implications. It doesn't bust the Medcalf if that's what you are getting at.

Regarding the position Steven was talking about, the bot likes |7.f17 with an unclear position. After white N15 the bot likes |8.p11, but Christian's move J17 probably also works: |9.s17 10.p13 for example.

ok -- just trying to figure it out

looking at |12.v20 13.p17

14.t19 15.o19
14.t21 15.o19
14.p19 15.o19
14.p18 15.r21

what am I missing?

14.p21. With the o19 threat, white must use a link. But both 15.n18 and 15.o19 fall prey to 16.m20.
