Life In 19x19

Posted: **Fri Jun 17, 2011 4:33 pm**

I turned on Wiki formatting as suggested and then chose Edit -> Copy as Ascii, but it came out wrong. I'm sticking with the standard sgf posting format.

I will report this to the author of SmartGo though. It might be a bug ...
notice the reversed move colors in the corner.

The next post will have my correct move choice.

Here is a screencast documenting the failure:

Here is a screencast of that approach creating a wrong diagram:

I'm sticking with the standard sgf posting format.

1. Under a diagram of the current board, Click Here To Show Diagram Code.
2. Highlight and Copy the diagram text.
3. Post Reply.
4. Paste.
5. Edit your move; add comments, etc.
6. Preview.
7. Rinse and repeat (5) and (6).
8. Submit.

It's a bug, but it's easy to work around. SmartGo uses the current player instead of the color of the first numbered move. So you can change the player before choosing Edit > Copy as ASCII by choosing Play > Black/White to Play.

If you insert a diagram node (Edit > Insert Diagram) to show a sequence of moves, and choose Copy as ASCII while you're at that diagram node, the color will be correct. This is the intended usage, but of course it should work with whatever you have showing on the board.

If you think I'm manually editing ascii diagrams instead of using my SmartGo editor, well.... go ahead and think that, but it aint happenin'

From a observer's point of view, its nicer and easier to read ascii diagrams. Also I can't read the sgfs very well on my smartphone, which I use fairly often.

From the experience of a player, editting an ascii diagram isn't very hard or time consuming.

Hey dude! Long time no see. You are at 4k. Nice going. I'm not cooperating with Ascii diagrams, end of story. It's easier and more convenient for me to do it how I'm doing it.

This seems to lead to interesting and fairly nice results. I'm not a fan of e, it simply never works out for me the way I want it to. A double pincer could work, too, but I haven't played with those enough for it to be safe.

Edit with more thoughts:

This looks reasonable, but I think he needs the marked stone to not get cut to pieces.

Not quite sure what this will lead to -- if he play a, he can get a wall facing the bottom, but I'll also get a good deal of strength on the topic; I'm hoping it will be enough to capture the corner.

This does not feel nice at all... I will need to plan out this line further, in case he plays it.

I see nothing wrong with plain-text diagrams, but suit yourself.

The corner is big, but I'm not sure it's that big. Might just play joseki. Perhaps playing at Q10 would have been better (but would have given him a good extension).

Another variation:

This way, I think black can keep the corner, but he is badly cut. As black, I would prefer the previous result.

Yeah, I was pretty confused by what the current move is.
