Go is a joy

Post by Ian Butler »

Before this game, I made up my mind to make this the best game I've played online. Meaning: the game I had the most fun with.
So I wanted most of all to 1. enjoy this game to the fullest and 2. play without fear. The result was less important.

At move 3, I already reached a climax of joy, when I accepted a cross-game. It's been ages since I've had one!
All through the game I kept trying to have fun. When a group was in some danger, I of course took notice of it, but I didn't worry too much.

In the end, I think it was one of my best games played. Sure, I made some stupid mistakes, and maybe I got off easy a few times. But I didn't let my opponent walk over me.

Let me know what you think! (comments in Dutch, sorry!)

Does R8 also do the trick? In my variations it does, but maybe white has better play?
