Would you be so kind as to tell me whether 1 in the following picture would be as big endgame as 1 in the previous example?

This is another solution to the problem which, I'd think, has little in common with the original question.

I should have presented it slightly differently. E18 was marked, as if it were where Black had just played. Corrected.

Hi everyone.

This is one of the problems I've been going through recently.

Would you be so kind to explain to me why one particular variant is marked as 'wrong'?

Thanks.

Sorry for derailing but, why do you want to study 9*9 games and if you really want it, then why don't you just take pro vs pro games on 9*9 ( GoGoD has around 100)?

Hello, SoDesuNe .

9x9 doesn't take up as much as time as 19x19 and it's easier for me to concentrate on 81 points, rather than on ...

Hello everyone!

The following is the game between my two AI Go programmes (the most difficult levels). Would you be so kind to comment on it and tell me whether they are any good to study their moves? (I've highlighted some points in the game that are especially confusing to me, could you please ...

Now I think that was a crucial mistake and maybe if I had played H7 instead I would have been better off. Both your and your H7 variation are ataris -- you must be very careful when you atari,
because here in both cases ( and H7), you make W stronger. Can you find a better move than atari?

SuprunP, what are your ideas? What do you think?

This is how I played it and, quite naturally, was beaten up somewhat harshly. Now I think that was a crucial mistake and maybe if I had played H7 instead I would have been better off.

It's also worth noting that the IGS broadcast games will have the sponsor's name for the player names, so you want to look for the professional ranking and not necessarily the name of the specific players who are actually playing in the event.

I reckon this is exactly what I experienced ...
