Teaching Game 361
Here is ChessWhiz playing against dnerra. dnerra: I'd like to copy the introduction from Bill's in Game33: "...and now people can see how bad I really play"... I am 3D in Germany (4d* in the new IGS ranks), so I guess it should be 9 stones? ChessWhiz: Well, my 12k* is after the rank change, too. so the overall difference is 4d + 11k = 14 stones. How about 13 handicap, or maybe 11? Or perhaps we could give a reverse-komi, like in Bill's Game33. dnerra: Well, IGS ranks are about worthless when it comes to determining the correct handicap. Maybe some 30 points of reverse komi? Do you have any real-world rank? ChessWhiz: *grin* Nope. I beat an AGA 1k with 9 stones, but that's about all I've done off of the IGS. But 9 stones + 30.5 komi sounds fine. Let's get started! dnerra: Ok, let's enjoy!
B 12: Hane or extend? Call me Mr. Submissive.
B 14: Cutting into your base.
B 10: You can't really call them hints if you give them after my move. ;-) Even so, I am learning already.
B 8: I can't decide between B8 and 'b'. Any advice? Remember... this is a teaching game. :-D
B 6: Is this too thin? Should I have played at 'a' instead?
ChessWhiz: I guess when I play high-handicap games, I get pretty submissive. W 5: Guess I have to play symmetric then! B 4: Ha! It's mirror go! :-P W 3: Did I say I don't like to play low kakaris in high handicap games? :-) This is a copy of the living page "Teaching Game 361" at Sensei's Library.
