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 :lol:

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.

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

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.

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

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.
