WHYYY?

I'm sad to see this, especially because I feel Kirby has the upper hand. I honestly believe this is white's desperate last moves before he resigns. Anything he says different is a trick/ mind game. This ko cannot be good for white even if black messes up a few times.

Ketchup, while I still think this game is in Kirby's favor, I don't think its as lopsided as you think. This ko threatens the black bottom right group's eyespace, so it is potentially game changing.

in my assessment white is ahead..
because the ko sometimes result unexpected result..i am not going to say that i will win.
but my feeling is that i am ahead and easily win.

Let's be honest though, how often do you not feel like this

yes i admit there are times i over estimate my points to make me feel at ease.
but the ko in this game is very big and seems like he can not win.
what is your opinion?

I think from here the game is a perfect magicwand game setup. I think it's pretty close, but the style of the rest of the game will be very much to your liking, and I think that will be the deciding factor.

If you would like, I will play at 5 stones. If you'd like to take a break, that's OK, too.

I think you should play Magicwand again at an even game and see how you do. I am far weaker than both of you but from the your comments as the series progressed I get the feeling that you were playing down to the amount of the handicap. If you look at the first game you were actively searching for a way to win, but the last two games it feels like you actually believe that you are 3-4 stones weaker than Magicwand.

Maybe the cure is an even game and trying your damnest to win.

If Kirby wishes to take a break and Magicwand is agreeable, I'd like to play Magicwand. I think 3 stones would be appropriate.

i would love to play. set it up and i will start.

kirby: i dont think it is right to play you 5 stone. i have played many taugh handycap games during last 20 years. it is only natural. i have seen too many people losing money thinking they can win. i hope this series can teach everyone that playing for money with stronger player usually endup losing.

thank you for the game and thank everyone participated in observing.
