Not to worry (too much). I've known 3 and 4 dans fall into knight's
move nets (the type that used to be on the cover of James Davies' "Tesuji").And
I (a 3 dan) got caught in a net-squeeze-ladder type thing yesterday
in the British Championship :( .

I'm told there are over 40 types of nets. Matthew Macfadyen reckoned
one Ion Florescu played on him recently was of a kind he'd not seen
before, which is saying something. But there's a bit of a gap in the
literature here (I've heard of a booklet of Russian origin). May do
something about it myself some day.

Since you insist. (I won anyway ... good luck rather than good
management).
The problem arises after play 118. I've commented the game,
which was interesting (net.zip). Charles
