First Game Help Counting

Post by erixsparhawk »

White played last. My GF and I think that the game is over at this point. Did black or white win?
Thanks for helping us settle the disagreement and learn how to play.

The game is not quite finished. But White won anyway -- by over 20 points ( if komi was 0.5 ), depending on whose turn it was next. See the following posts.

( Hmm... the renderer cannot handle 14x14... :-? )

It's a good habit to completely fill in all the dame, or neutral points.
As you can see in the following SGF ( and in the diagrams next post ),

EdLee,
That was a very helpful post. Thank you!
Eric

ps- I thought I was using a 13x13! Next time count intersections rather than squares!
