I know there are some manly pro players still going for this jobomination, inspite they are only achieving a 44% winrate with this variation in my database of recent games. I dont get it why even 9d players still try this from time to time.

I am eager to see the pro games you will show me, were this variation is a good way to play indeed.

Have fun! Show us Gomoto is a scaramouch! :twisted:

Here is an example for such a manly pro player:
Very strong Shin Jinseo is fine with 44% winrate at move 15 (Leela Zero and my pro database agree on this winrate by coincidence :lol:). He is really a bold player!
