Beginner Game Sample 4
Path: BeginnerGameSamplesToComment · Prev: BeginnerGameSample3 · Next: BeginnerGameSample5 Timber: I want to use the opportunity here at SL to get a bit more human comment on my games. IŽm not completely new to the game, ~ 16 kyu on KGS, but I canŽt play there very often (firewall at work ;)), and I really don't trust my own ability to interpret all kinds of situations so... hereŽs one of my games against GnuGo, default settings. IŽd appreciate your comments very much! Moves 1 to 10
Timber:I suppose instead of preventing the enclosure in the upper right I could have played around a. But would that really have been better ? or should I have tried to attack the lower left with the backup of 3 ?
Andre Engels: Please use letters a, b, c etcetera - it is not clear to me which point you mean by R4. However,
Bill: Timber: I did change the references, thanks for the advice, Andre. Moves 11 to 20
Timber:I guess that shape in the lower left is not good for me. Also thereŽs suddenly that big white framework.
Andre Engels:
Bill: Moves 21 to 30
Timber:That cut in the upper right does not look as promising as it did then. Would
Andre Engels:
Bill: Moves 31 to 40
Timber:This is really just bad for me, isnt it? I guess I wouldn't have given up that corner if I had played against a human (more thinking time…).
Andre Engels: Yes, it is. You could have diminished the damage by playing Moves 41 to 50
Timber:Should Black rather defend his lower right corner or rather play somewhere around b (or somewhere else completely?)
Andre Engels: Timber: "Thank you very much. Would it be too presumptuous to post the rest of the game ? I hope not! :)" Moves 51 to 60
Timber:I, too, thought that the lower right is big, but Moves 61 to 70
Timber: I guess to make some territory there I would have needed to separate some stones of his. But I didnt see any good opportunity so I focused on destruction. Jump to Moves 110 to 119
Timber: Somewhere in between these moves I started to think again. I was sure that this group could not legitimately live... Moves 120 to 129
Timber: But somehow only got a ko (which I later won). How should I have played to catch them without ko ? Andre Engels: It looks like me that your judgement that you were 'sure that this group could not legitimately live' was wrong. In fact, I wonder how White even let it become ko - if White simply captures at a for the next move, the group is alive without.
The correct way of playing would have been to play Please be so kind and give your comments, it helps me immensely to evaluate my own ability to judge. Thanks in Advance!
