Not for players until after the game
Did topazg miss A6, or is there a reason not to play it? G1 might have also been better than the game move, but I'm not gonna count the number of stones in those groups.

I'll require a steady supply of blunders by Graham to have any hope of winning.

...although in fairness, Graham is doing great for a beginner. Early on, everyone played with a killy style. Then someone developed the strategy of being more reserved with the violence.

Oust dynamics are far from obvious, even after you've been subjected to the abuse a few times.

It seems one of my biggest concerns is trying to avoid you from connecting at J3 - something which requires tact and finesse that I don't really have :D In the meantime, I'll hope to encourage you to say hello to my bigger groups ;)

I won't win here, but if I did, it would provide an excellent demonstration of what can happen when two unevenly matched players switch colors mid-game, should anyone ever want to do that.

I think the sente drifting back and forth effect was something that used to happen early on, when everyone was killy. Now, if you can launch a pretty good avalanche, taking hostages, you've got a solid advantage. Might be about time to shift up to larger boards - 12x12 and 8x8x8.

Yeah, that makes sense - it's funny how the game pans out when you have groups that are simply too small to compete with the local enemies, and you have situations where you leave them because nothing else makes sense

This position is not unrealistic, even after the color switch between mismatched players. Occasionally sente swings do take place between evenly matched, advanced players.
