Get Strong at Kibitz Extracts

• Interesting how a move next to a good move can be so bad.
• Normally that would work, but in this context, there is no hope.
• Normally that wouldn't work, and now is not any different.
• Why has he connected two dead groups?
• Not bad, exchanging 30 points of territory against influence facing the opponents wall, but I wonder if that's what he wanted?

• This is a new Joseki
• There are exceptions to 'the empty triangle is bad', but this isn't one of them, is it?
• Amazing that that much thought still produces a bad move.
• I've seen pros play moves like that before...when they're looking for a place to resign.
• Mmmm... Not a real 7 dan.
• Did the computer score the game wrong?

All: ...
Black: Click (snapback)

White: Really?
Black: Are you sure?
Observer1: I think you should BOTH concede, and hit your tsumego...
