I feel like I'm missing something, but I guess I'll find out if so... |

But bots can play the endgame as though they did not care. One of the golfing greats (I think it was Gene Sarazen), like many others, started out as a caddy. Reflecting on a pressure putt that he had sunk to win the US Open, he remembered when, as a kid, he would play with the other caddies, and when they were putting, they would say, "This is for the US Open." That youthful practice, he said, put him in a good frame of mind to make the pressure putt for the US Open. If you want to play a good endgame when it matters, play a good endgame when it doesn't.

I emailed drishti to ask him whether he wishes to continue playing. From his perspective, there is no need. As such, I resign. Thanks for the game. I enjoyed it! Given my antics during the game, I expect the hide tags to be epic. Let's get to it. |

Wow, that is so cool! Thanks for that. I learned something. Actually, I remained blind to N18 throughout the game. I did not see that P19 is sente for Black in the final position (I was not calculating in that direction and simply assumed it is 2 points gote). Also, it seems the folk were initially incredulous that I was as far behind as I thought I was. I'll try to post an sgf file with how I think the endgame should have been played out, and maybe someone can set me straight. Great comments, by the way! |

I just went back through all the hidden posts. Great comments! Thank you for those. Lots of laughs... The Intrepid is devious! I'm embarrassed that I missed the whole P19 situation even to the end. I knew there was something up there, but M12 was the best I could come up with. F18 and J18 were also attempts at making my way over there, but clearly there were better tactics. Thanks again! |
