Not So Magnificent Seven
Keywords: EndGame
A remarkable final position. Black has seven groups, against a single white group. JamesA: Aren't there two white groups there? I've marked the border in the black stones group. Dave Sigaty: Another remarkable point is the result. White won by 1 1/2 points. But realize that this means Black won on the board by four points before komi - despite having seven groups! HolIgor: Yes, Black can boast a good kill, however. Actually, the "joseki" Takemiya played in the top left corner was crazy. Alex Weldon: Actually, the other day, I lost a game where I had a single group, and the opponent had six. Not quite as interesting as this, since I'm nowhere close to being a pro, but still surprised me. Dieter: In our national Go magazine, the commentator spoke about "Snow White and the seven dwarfs".
