Oh, come on. You tell me this even though I took exactly a year's break between games 103 and 104...? :mrgreen:

Out of curiosity, what do you make of the bizarre "joseki" sequence from move 8 to 17?

Thanks again for posting these fascinating games! Even I don't get time to post my comments every time, I'm enjoying the ones that I manage to look at. Please keep going with this :-)

Thank you so much, I will!

I'm up to game 141 by now. The one-year break of posting here was just because of this forum's bug with uploading .sgfs. I've been waiting for ZBaduk to implement a new KataGo net before I continue. All the games since game 82 in July 2022 have been using the same 60b network, whose fuseki potential I think I've exhausted by now.

Game 111 (7 komi, NZ rules) is a fighting game that results in a draw after only 224 moves. https://online-go.com/review/1017234

Yes, well, real life gets in the way of my go addiction sometimes...

Right, I didn't comment on that because:

I thought it was part of the AlphaGo Teach starting position that you chose, not KataGo's choice of moves; and
It's way beyond my understanding :-)

But I can offer some thoughts:

Move 8 is new to me, but the shape gets about 30 hits in my GoGoD+go4go database. It's the sort of probe you'd expect once black has built a moyo, checking black's reaction before deciding whether to reduce or invade. And indeed in the database it generally happens between move 40 and 60, sometimes later and with other black stones in that quarter of the board. There were a couple of examples around move 22 or 23. But nothing as early as move 8!

I guess here, white is probing before choosing the joseki sequence in the lower left. And the diagonal move at white 18 is a little unusual. But the part that's beyond my understanding is the relationship between the joseki and the top right.

Trying some different sequences in KataGo:

If I force white 8 to be in the lower left, then it prefers C3 over C4.
After playing out moves 8-17, then KataGo does prefer C4 in the lower left, so what happened at the top right makes a difference
If I leave the top right untouched, play out the lower left as in the game, then put white O18 on the board and ask KataGo for the best replies, the next two moves are the same as in the game, but after that it wants black to atari on top at P16 instead of capturing at N18.

All very mysterious to me.

Maharani · **#164**

Thank you, super fascinating!!

As a side note, I haven't explored any AGT positions for two years (25 games with CHN rules and 7.5 komi). All of the 141 games played with NZ rules and 7 komi are native KataGo games.

Maharani · **#165**

Game 112 (7 komi, NZ rules) sees white exploring some mysterious aji in black's bottom right corner. Move 93 is a signature KataGo move, with black beginning to make sabaki in white's sketched-out moyo. By move 154, white is firmly 2 points ahead, causing black to lose his will to live and lose by at least 12 points thirty moves later. https://online-go.com/review/1019740

In game 113 (7 komi, NZ rules), black amusingly keeps ignoring white's bit-by-bit reduction of his large left-side area in order to profit in the bottom left corner and center instead. The game ends as a draw. https://online-go.com/review/1024533

In game 114 (7 komi, NZ rules), by move 88, black has built a giant top left moyo and white has built an equally giant center bottom moyo; then they invade and reduce each other in equal amounts. Move 78 is rather spectacular. The game is a draw. https://online-go.com/review/1027348

Game 115 (NZ rules, 7 komi) escalates into an all-consuming center fight after black deviates from the top left joseki to cut at D14. After move 216, black decides that, since he's at least 1 point behind, he might as well lose by 12 points. https://online-go.com/review/1032799

I have studied these AI opening a lot but they need not result in a center fight. They can also start an early endgame.

Game 123 (7 komi, NZ rules) is a game of strange shapes. Tough for my 10k brain to summarize what's going on. After move 232, black realizes he's firmly behind by 2 points, and resigns six moves later. https://online-go.com/review/1061025

Game 124 (NZ rules, 7 komi) is a game with four 3-3 invasions. Black connects up two of his 3-3 invasions to make a 38-point territory on the left side, whereas white uses her top right 3-3 invasion to capture black's invaded corner. The game ends as a draw. https://online-go.com/review/1063933

What I enjoy most about game 125 (7 komi, NZ rules) is black and white breezily floating around the bottom side. After move 184, black realizes he's firmly behind by at least 2 points, so he starts wasting ko threats. https://online-go.com/review/1069204
