Jasonred : Challengers come on! Playing a game of no pass go on a 9x9!
Jasonred : Ending, definitely. As for my technique up to the final blow, who c
Migeru : That is definitely not what I was expecting. That is a safe but I think unnecessary move, because would have a hard time living. There are two hotter points on the board that I can see...
Jasonred -was it? : looks like
was a mistake... there was definitely some bad aji there, but I just had no idea how to take advantage of it. Oh, well...
I know... was such a big mistake, I should have just played at 20, but, no... I had to try being inventive... If you have the slightest idea what I'm planning, I'm impressed, because I myself sure as don't any more...
Why did you have to be inventive? Just follow up on and
and see what I do with my sente. - Migeru
But I don't want to see what you can do with sente! ;) Okay, I'll admit, it's a very bad habit from playing Hikago 2 on GBA, I am almost completely unwilling ever to let go of Sente, if I can help it. This includes performing unurgent, and often less useful, and sometimes outright stupid moves, just so I can maintain sente. Or almost sente.
Jasonred I see no group of yours even close to shortage of liberties.
Migeru Ignoring your opponent's moves in not keeping sente.
: About an hour after making that move, I realised that the counter left my 3 group in atari. Moron myself! I hate how my play has ridiculous ups and downs like that, I make a fairly good move here, a moronic move there, a (for me) brilliant move here, kill myself in gote there...
Jasonred : Why is no one kibitzing or anything?
Migeru: This is too embarrassing :-)
Jasonred : Your mistake, or mine? Anyhow, this is getting just WEIRD...
Jasonred : Yeah, at would have made 2 eyes. Dunno about
, though.
B47 : On the 10th anniversary, I would like to discuss move 37!
b9 : Not again. Well done, myself.If you take over 90% of the board it doesn't matter whether it's no pass go or normal go anymore...
Jasonred : I just realized that I've lost everything. Ruins, it's all gone... all of it... wah!!! Hmmm, no pass go, whatever go, I don't think it's possible to make a comeback with just those stones there, so... I surrender. The no pass factor doesn't even come into play. Sigh. This became normal go after all, and very bad at that.
Migeru: Idea: why don't you go back to what you think is your first mistake and correct it? Just make a new board for that 10-move section.
Would this have been a stronger response, you think?
W38 kills your corner, but then you get more points on the left side with B39.
Because I am greedy like that, I would probably have played in the same place...
What would this have done?
