Life in 19x19 Title Tournament, Round 1 and 2 draws

[Li Kao]

Wow you played almost like a dan, Loons

[karaklis]

If he doesn't turn up by Monday, and you were next on the list (which I can't seem to find!), you can take his place to play Aphelion

It was not a list that was written down in form of a list, just a few names in some spread postings. Actually I gave my slot to Aphelion for this tournament, so it's funny that his opponent has probably disappeared and gives me the opportunity to play him again.

@Aphelion: If your opponent doesn't show up until Monday evening, I will contact you on Tuesday (or you can contact me if you like).

I hope this time I will do better than in the Kuchinashi series

Here is the match between SoDesuNe and myself.

What can I say about this game? I wish I had such an opponent at the local go club, I would learn a lot.

Thank you for the match, SoDesuNe.

[SoDesuNe]

Thank you, too! It was a very good game and as we both know now, I got lucky at least once ^^

[topazg]

Good game both, I look forward to playing the winner of you and GoCat

Nakamura (B) vs me: B+3.5

[Nakamura]

Really good game, tj. Thank you.

[Aphelion]

Here's my game with Karaklis, with review from Shaddy and Ketchup. I was Black and won by resignation. Ketchup, your're next on my list .

[ketchup]

The review is a bit disorganized. You should remove all of my comments, and just keep shad's comments. Only so at least, it's consistently one person reviewing rather than having a few different lines. Also, it's better the stronger player's comments are kept in. I like to look at tangents.


As for the match, just let me know when you want your match, I'll be around.

[Chew Terr]

Nikolas and I will be playing at 3 p.m. Central time (US/Canada). That's UTC-6.
edit: Today (Saturday).

[Chew Terr]

Nikolas won by 22.5. My midgame was... very generous.

Review of the above game (most comments directed at black but a few for white):

[Chew Terr]

Daniel,

Thanks a lot for the review. It makes good sense. As far as your last question goes, I couldn't play the hane because white's prior move threatened D8. If I did the hane, white would either kill a large group of mine or connect out. and I could afford neither. Nikolas was being tricky with that aji.

[daniel_the_smith]

Oh, lol, you're right...
