Giving handicap to computer at low level: game analysis

[Fllecha]

Hi all

I played a bad game with handicap (against Igowin 12k). The computer benefit the handicap. Don't care about computer weakness, I'm trying to play and practice, and learn to win.

Please feel free to comment and spot my mistake, as usual you do a very good job. One last thing: until the end, estimating score, I thought to lose, but finally I won by 2.5. It seems to me that white needs much less territory to win: is only a beginner view?



Thank you all.

Aren't there stronger programs to play against?

Hi Fllecha,
White as the komi... 4.5 bonus points in your game. So without the komi, black would have won.

oh yes. And I do play stronger engines.

This was one of my first 19x19 games, I played on igowin that sets engine strenght at your level
