Teaching Game 44
   

A TeachingGame between Scartol (black) and HolIgor (white).

[Diagram]
Diag.: The Main Game Board


[Diagram]
Diag.: Moves 101-110

HolIgor: Black is very thick everywhere. Any invasion would be insane. So, white has to improve the position and make the double sente moves if possible.

Scartol B103: I've been wasting my time (and yours, Holigor) on the left there. I don't know what I was expecting to find..

Diag.: Moves 91-100

Scartol: The problem with going away for so long is that one is liable to forget one's strategy -- and things look so much more hopeless than they used to! I'm sorry for being so long absent, Holigor. I've got this new teaching job, and I'm working nights as a tutor and my girlfriend is going away for a month soon, so I've been spending lots of time with her. I appreciate your patience.

Scartol B95: I guess there's probably no hope to save those stones in the middle, but I won't know for sure unless I try.

Scartol B93: Not sure how much success I can have here, but I figure it's at least worth a shot..

HolIgor W92: Atari again. There is a need to consider other options for black. Teaching44B91

Scartol B91: I think I see how white is connected, but I'm going to make these stones work as much as I can..



[Diagram]
Diag.: Moves 81-90

HolIgor: Atari.

Scartol White is connected? Hmm. Maybe I'm being foolish, but I want to make sure I'm wrong..

HolIgor: W86: Connected.

Scartol B85: Moving in for the cut.

Scartol B83: An amputation attempt..

HolIgor: W82. Now the fight starts. We can consider a lot of variations. (I assume you mean W80? - S)

Scartol B81: If I'm gonna lose 'em, I might as well use 'em.


Moves 1-40
Moves 41-80
