Peter points out that D5 would've been better.]

I played this to ensure that H4 connects to the K-edge, since Tom's move would need G5, but I want to use G5 for a bridge to F5.]

Now White gets a template.

During the game, I thought I was probably winning here, but this seems good for Black.]

I don't see a way for White to make the B5 ladder work.

(C3+G3 means A5 connects to the 1-edge.)]))

I was briefly thinking of here, but then E6 wins for White.]

(;B[e6]C[Eric\:

I now think this seems very good for Black.  It connects to G3, and White gets just a height-4 ladder along the A-edge.]
