In game 93 (NZ rules, 7 komi), around move 134 white starts to make a small life inside black's center moyo, but black profits enough elsewhere to draw the game. White 252 and 266 are such pretty-looking endgame moves

In game 94 (7 komi, NZ rules), black gives a 48-point lower side territory away to white in exchange for exerting pressure onto white's right side group that has invaded black's moyo there. After black move 249. A9, KataGo suddenly realizes that white is 8 points ahead rather than it being an even game still. Black gets depressed, throws a fit, and in the end white wins by about 30 points. https://online-go.com/review/952287

In game 95 (7 komi, NZ rules), despite white's best efforts at reduction, black gets a 49-point lower side territory. Of course, white ends up with a left side group that's almost as large. The lower left corner features our third seki in this game series. Black wins the game by 2 points. https://online-go.com/review/955134

Clossius, AGA 3d did a 45-minute video review of this game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfyGREOO0NQ

I’ve included all of his (commented) variations, plus more KataGo variations, in the OGS review as well.

Hi, sorry I haven't been online much this year. I'm pleased to see this series is still going! Are you planning anything special for the 100th game? :-)

I just saw this post! <3 I've already played 106 games, I'm just way behind on posting them here. I didn't do anything special for game 100, but once I post it here, I'll post the updated win statistics and fuseki index.

I watch some of the video reviews from time to time when they come out, thanks for making these.

Maharani · Post by **Maharani** » Sat Jan 07, 2023 4:01 pm

You're very welcome, that makes me happy to know!

Just as with game 89, moves 9 - 16 of game 97 (NZ rules, 7 komi) were also identical with game 49. In fact, despite starting from scratch again, all of moves 1 - 22 of game 97 were identical with game 89. It seems like the 60b neural network currently employed at ZBaduk is much more confident in its opening moves than the previous 40b nets. By move 200, white has sacrificed a seven-stone group that started out as a 3-3 invasion (of which there were four again) in exchange for living small with all of her bottom side stones. It's another draw. https://online-go.com/review/962053

67 — 97: Lower side fight that spills into the center.
98 — 107: White makes sabaki in black's upper right moyo, splitting black into a solid 11-point corner and a living group on the side.

Moves 8 to 17 of game 102 (7 komi, NZ rules) see white pursuing some very strange aji in black's upper right corner. After move 196, Kata suddenly realizes that black is ahead by 14 points rather than just 2. White loses her will to live and ends up losing by at least 30 points. https://online-go.com/review/984818

Game 102 was our hundredth “ranked” game. (In games 42 and 43, white played a slightly suboptimal move 2 in order to achieve a 50 % winrate.)

Our current tally is 24 black wins, 37 draws and 39 white wins, or an effective winrate of 57.5 % for white.

A full 23 % of games continued from these two positions:
