Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
@danielm: maybe you should look back at the final position of your game vs. Hushfield from last week. By my count, with proper endgame white wins by 1.5 point. So white's resignation seems a little bit unfortunate...

Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
gaius, can you show your endgame sequence? The best I can find (from white's point of view) is a half point win for black.gaius wrote:@danielm: maybe you should look back at the final position of your game vs. Hushfield from last week.

Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
It might be possible by winning the ko on the right as last move of the game and correctly abusing blacks weakness in the bottom left. But the part with ko as last move makes my head hurt.quantumf wrote:gaius, can you show your endgame sequence?

This is only to show the idea. Both players are a bit slack and I didn't play out the ko fight.

Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
Aaah, I miscounted slightly! White does win, but only by half a point. The trick is that white needs to find the tesuji of exchanging B6 and D8 first, and then playing B7. Then, black has to play twice in their own territory to capture white, which makes a point difference compared to LiKao's variation.
AGA rules uses stone counting, right? I did not take that into account, but it should not matter since white gets the last dame if he uses the B7 semedori. So white does not need to (and should not) start the half point ko. And black should not get the opportunity to start it, since T4 should be white's first dame after playing B7.
I am counting by hand by the way, so I hope I didn't miss a point somewhere...
EDIT: this seems one of the rare cases where stone counting with 7.5 komi produces a different result than Japanese counting with 6.5 komi. Interesting!

Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
I got B+1.5:
Black has to spend two moves to capture, but white has to spend a move to protect on the bottom.

I think this takes more than two moves to capture. In fact black might lose the race, I didn't read it.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
Even if black defends against the capturing race, he will either get E1 or F8. This still seems to be a 1.5 point win (unless SmartGo is counting incorrectly, which is possible).daniel_the_smith wrote:

Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
I get W+0.5 if black has to block:
I missed Daniel's move, it seems like the final score is in fact W+0.5

Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
9 isn't necessary, black still eventually has to capture one of the stones, which will take two moves.
White wins by .5
EDIT: added move c, above-- if white doesn't take this first, black will throw in and make a ko for the game.

Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
This is going to be very interesting. I have no idea what all of you are talking about. And seeing how there's many of you and only one of me, I assume I'm missing something very big, indeed. I counted the score manually. Twice. And I looked at the CGoban score estimate. Black is leading by 25+ points? Why does everybody count this as a very close game? Actually, before white's invasion I counted the game as very close, but at the end position it's not close anymore though, right?
I'm sure I'm making some horrible mistake, but I can only learn. What am I overlooking?

Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
Scoring in KGS shows that the game is very close in the end. You can't use SE since it's totally broken when using Area Scoring.

Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
Area scoring does give a result very close to territory scoring. So your manual score still seems to be wrong.

Re: L19 2011 tournament: PAIRINGS and RESULTS
That's what I thought, hence my confusion. I said at the end of that game that I was pretty bad at counting, and I have proven that to be more than true ^^ Something to work on.

it seems that White can play 
below in sente. Black can not capture at 
. So Black plays 12 at "a" and White connects at 12.
