Life In 19x19

Yes, you're right. I hadn't see the one point balance unfavourable for black. A shame. It came so close to being a reason to open that bottle over there...

I don't know, but I think probably not. The cycle could go on forvever, but white gains an extra prisoner each time round so it should end when white has enough points to win despite black living.

Hmmm... I agree! So it's a very big life cycle, but not eternal. I can't buy all those vegetables ...

Hi there!

Sometimes I face a situation in which I have to choose either to reduce or invade an opponent's moyo. The best course of action is, of course, to count the ...

Today someone also told me about Josekipedia. Two things I didn't knew and that will help me greatly: Josekipedia and DailyJoseki.

Thanks.

I didn't knew dailyjoseki. It is a great resource. Thanks.

I was actually talking about F16, which no one had ever played against me before. It caught me off guard. I thought I could leave G16 as is, but F15 would be top notch.

Thanks.

Hi there!

I've played a 7 stone game with a friend who is just starting to learn Go. To my first stone, he made a curious reply. I felt it was wrong, and I can't find it in any joseki, but I can't actually see if it is "that" wrong, so I wanted to discuss it with you.

Hi there! I've started playing go about a year ago, but only dedicated myself to it from last September. I'm currently 11k at KGS and 13k at Dragon. And I'm from Portugal. I've read a lot of posts, and today I had a question and registered.

And I think that's it

Cheers.
