Well, if you do that, it doesn't hurt so bad when you lose.



Yeah, there's the snag. If it's demoralizing it's not a good idea.

And go is a long game. So maybe 80% effort on most moves is about right.

As I think I've said several times, I have two related thoughts going through my head when I try to figure out where I play:

1) Where would stronger players suggest I should play?
2) Would stronger players say I should know better than to play a certain move?

I've been going through some of my games with Leela, and it's interesting how often Leela wants me to tenuki. The problem is, when I do tenuki, Leela usually wants me not to.
