My first 2-stone games.

Post by tekesta »

Below are my first 2-stone games against GNUGo Level 1, 10k. In the first game I played horribly and resigned. I know not the margin of loss, but it appeared substantial, especially after a big Black group in the top right was killed off. In the second game I played a bit more attentively, but too lukewarm, and lost by 37.5 points. I neglected to reduce White's territory. Afterwards I got annoyed and played a bit more aggressively. I won the 3rd by 31.5 points and the 4th by 41.5 points. Much obliged in advance for your comments.

Hi tekesta,

Game 1:

:b8: - :w9: exchange: bad shape, bad habit. You hit yourself on the head; W hane head of your 2 stones.

Up to :w17: : see toothpaste.

:b44: wedge thru :w47: : see toothpaste.

:black: 142 ... some similar mis-understanding of the wedge ( :b44: ).

Game 3:

:w27: is ridiculous : toothpaste.
