This game had a pretty interesting finish despite my being on the ropes for most of it. The database version of it will look a bit different, since the db doesn't poof stones as will sometimes happen in the actual poof games. Here's the position just before the end:
Karl was threatening a win on his next move, but I gave him an opportunity to make a mistake and lose instead. Of course, he didn't, but in a speed game he might well have.
Capturing @ L10 in the above position would have lost the game 12-10 for Karl... so of course he won with L6 instead
Retired from rated TB Pente, but still playing live and TB variants
Just wanted to point out that the game view below does show poofs so there probably isn't a need to show the final 2 positions. (The game database still doesn't show them though)
