But you are 100% correct, since that black group on the top died (this went back and forth a few times), it could have been captured after all... Since it doesnt change the outcome of the game, I'm not too worried, but thank you for the note and the link. All learning is opportunity for growth, and losing is just more opportunity to learn. I think I'm learning :-) Ach, you are right, I was looking at his move into the corner and seeing that I would then be able to take his stone, and then due to Ko, be able to take his stones.

You'll probably be interested to know that the upper left isn't a seki--since the black group is next to it is dead, white can simply capture black's two stones anytime, and they are counted as prisoners. If the black group next to it were alive, the correct place to play for both players would be the 1-1 point. See: http://senseis.xmp.net/?BentFourInTheCorner. (hopefully that's all clear as mud) Cheers!
