Life In 19x19

I also tried the position with AI at zbaduk.com. It prefers E2 instead of D2.

Soseki Natsume, I am a Cat, Chaper XI.

CNN article: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/24/asia ... index.html

Have you counted prisoners? White has 48 and Black has 7. The difference is 41. The sum 41+83.5 = 124.5 is pretty close.

Hi, IGS says White wins by 121.5 points. How much was your counting?

It was casted at Russian Go Federation youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCck7ec ... HP_cXpFjXw (in Russian). China won 10:3. Several first games were played at Yikeweiqi server and the rest at OGS.

May be they are afraid of chinese delegation.

A recent pro game.

I resign. Thank you for the game.

In the final position B1 and D1 are miai so White can do nothing.
