Anon: Hi, I am about 5k on KGS. I always play tengen against IGOWIN 9x9. Naturally, I was at a loss when faced with a 5 stone handicap. After failing repeatedly by my own devices, I finally broke down and tried your opening. It really works!!!

diegocfq: This 'pro' level of igowin makes serious mistakes, in the first game, moves 21-30, after white plays E7, black could easily kill the white group playing this sequence: B D3, W J4, B D5, after this move, white doesn't have any chance so what kind of 'pro' level is this, that makes mistakes a mere 4k like me could see?
