FURTHER, BLACK DOES NOT WANT TO LOSE THE POTENTIAL \ OF A MOVE AROUND G3.] (;B[cl];W[lq] C[Mr. Kim praised black's next play. He said a move at b, which I was also considering and asked about afterward, would be too \ complicated and unecessarily dangerous for black. MR YANG SAYS A IS OK (NORMAL) BUT C IS BEST.
