10x10 corner game1
Keywords: Ongoing game
PurpleHaze: I know this one
Klaus: how about this?
PurpleHaze: A long time ago (when I was 3 kyu) a visiting dan player won a couple of beers from me by wagering that I could not live as white. Like many I assumed that the san-san was always alive, but he convinced me it was dead. Both this This was very profitable for me. Over the course of the next couple of years I won many a beer from low dan players who thought that the san-san could not be killed. Then one day a pro wandered by said "Oh, that position, white lives" and gave the line I've recorded here. By that time I'd stopped playing go or I would have found all the players I'd won beers from and offered to play white. I suspect that this is a known "hustle". That on street corners all over asia there are players who will offer to wager on this. So, I don't know the line for white in response to this move, but I suspect that it is easier than the line against the other.
