Post subject:  23rd LG Cup

The preliminary tournament of LG cup is ongoing. The following game from this event must be a candidate of the most interesting game of the year for a number of reasons:

- One player is the top female player. Her opponent has very close strength (they are separated by only 1 point in GoRatings).
- The game is quite long (357 moves).
- The game results in a 0.5 point win/loss.
- Whole board capturing race among many groups of stones.
- Four groups of stones ended up in two sekis (and these are very large groups, so imagine the effort needed from the players to read the liberties).

I originally thought b9 was a misclick from the recording, but I think it's to make d11 gote (otherwise throw in and ko problems next) and white needs to fix the cut there (and trying to be more efficient e.g. f10 gives black a peep so can capture the 2 stones above).

I liked Shin Minjun's game too, lots of AlphaGo josekis.

Black (Shin Minjoon) played from a strong group to enclose the right on move 31, but white invaded anyway using the aji of his captured stone...

I'm rooting for Shi Yue :D
I don't understand his style, but I find it really interesting to watch. Maybe the veteran can finally win his second international title against the young up-and-comer!

Post subject:  Re: 23rd LG Cup

So we get a decider! The 2nd game featured a popular modern joseki at top left (and I played in my last tournament game) which ends with white getting a big corner and black a wall plus ponnuki. I was somewhat surprised Shi then 3-3 invaded at the top right as the resulting top side seemed pretty large and efficient. Is this a case of a bad 3-3 invasion? it's all the rage these days but usually that's because the resulting wall is either inefficient or attackable (or teasable with p14 peep) later but that didn't happen this time and it just made a huge territory. Or was 3-3 ok but subsequent reduction or lack thereof the issue?



For comparison here's a game I played as LZ recently on Fox where it killed the ponnuki group later (of course it could have lived in gote but that was painful so the human decided to tenuki to kill another group so LZ duly kill it):

So LZ201 (with low playouts) thinks the 3-3 was fine (-<1%, q14 high approach another interesting idea, don't often see those, f12, r3 other choices), but that o3 approach was -5% and it was urgent to reduce:
