I'm so sorry, I'm a bad person.

Trigger: if a, then b.

I wanted to connect, but I think that way I end up with three almost dead groups. This way the middle group looks decent and black will eventually have to connect to something. I don't feel real good about this game right now, I say I have only a 35% or so chance of winning it.

Don't be silly, we're not in any hurry. in my DGS games I often leave a game to sit for a while if I'm not sure how to proceed.

Value: 52.4%

Up 2.4% from last move, a pretty big jump. When we review this game, we should definitely come back to here, I think if white had connected he had a decent chance to kill the black group, which would have been huge.

The order is a bit muddled, but it seems black wants to push along here in sente, then switch to the left corner. Black spent 93% of playouts here, but for :b75:

it was split 70%-23% between pushing again and playing C16:

OK, well, that one is an easy decision!

Value: 52.5%

Same move as predicted last sequence, but it was close: 63% of playouts at G11, 33% at C16.

I like black's position here, it seems that white still has a weak group, possibly two if black can live in the corner. One concern: black doesn't want to chase white into the hard-won moyo on the lower right. On the plus side for white, there's the potential to take all four corners this game, easily 50 points.

Another really tough choice. I really want to play another move in the corner, but I don't want black to solidify his center in sente, either.

I think this is the most optimistic Fuego has been about the game so far.

Well, let's hope I can get enough forcing moves to live here. Or maybe black will mess up and die.

I wouldn't be surprised if white plays b15 right away. Does D18 make a living shape?

I wouldn't be surprised if white plays b15 right away. Does D18 make a living shape?

I read it as alive, with C18 and B19 miai in interesting lines?

Posted: **Mon Nov 14, 2011 3:31 pm**

I haven't forgotten about this, I just haven't been able to concentrate long enough to read something reasonable out...

I just wanted to say that it's very interesting game, and I've subscribe to see future moves. keep going guys!

Any chance of this game resuming? I was enjoying the whole man vs. machine aspect of the game
