Life In 19x19

Thanks for the very in depth review! I've been quite busy this week, so I couldn't thanks you sooner. The suggested lines (assumed to be Katagos?) are certainly interesting. Confusing to me like most AI lines, but valuable nonetheless

There was a recent 3v3 competition in a similar format for twitch go streamers vs afreeca go streamers. Their take on it had a 50 point penalty for resigning, since there was a greater skill gap than between pros and so to help keep the match relatively even in case one game became too one-sided. It ...

Hi yall,
I'm back at it again with a fresh request! I put lots of comments about my thought process during the game, so if you're willing to read kyu ramblings there's a lot to review there ^.^ For some background, I've been replaying some Cho Chikun games so my general game plan was to play for ...

Thanks for the help Knotwilg ^^

Your point about the bulge points made me think. In retrospect, I purposely played away because a) they weren't sente, and b) even if white made the move I didn't see much gain/loss. I do, however, find the resulting bent shape really annoying and see how it can lead ...

Hi Ed! Thanks as always for responding :D

:b9: I actually didn't considered it. Kind of embarrassing as playing larger scale surrounding moves is one of the points I'm trying to keep in mind XD

:b13: Hmm, I was aiming at developing the right side, especially with a vulnerable two space, two stone ...

Hi all, I took some time off the game and I'm easing back into it. Last was KGS 4k, but my account expired so I'm starting from scratch a little higher. I'm playing black.

Thank you everone for taking the time to respond! It was really helpful.

Hello all,

I've hit a pretty big life milestone and am thinking of gifting myself a nice set. I had some questions regarding things, and am hoping you guys can help in the decision making! So here are a plethora of questions:

1) Stones: Definitely want to get me some slate and shell. Mr. Kuroki's ...

... I literally tried every point but that one
Well, I suppose that's why I'm practicing!

And thank you Richard, I'll keep that in mind as I continue through the series.

Hi y'all,

I'm working through Cho's Encyclopedia of Life and Death as transcribed onto tasuki. This is problem 46 in the second volume; black to play and kill. I can't find the correct variation, if there is one (supposedly there are some incorrect transcriptions). Halp, please?

$$B ...

That's crazy. To read it out and know he would make enough to be close/win is incredible. Definitely not something in the kyu/lower dan repertoire

Thanks!

It's interesting to note, letters such as り can be considered a hybrid between r/l, but the l sound is derived from the depth of the r so generally is considered and often Romanised as r in romaji. But I don't know of any Hangeul consonant normally Romanised as r, so the Romanisation of ...

Thank you!

I can't figure this out for the life of me. Black to play. I feel like there's a way to outright kill, but the best result I can think of results in ko.
