Funny game played on OGS. I'm white. I was sure I had won 
I think it's a good 10k exercise to find it
So, go kick W's ass

More than 20 views and no comment ? Maybe I should precise that I did not report B's last move in the sgf !

You're both right, and be kind with me : tell me you didn't realize it at first sight

I confess : D
(I guess, too much Tsumegos make you lazy because you expect someone to tell you, Black to "kill" ^^ When you stated you omitted the last move, I only started to look at the positions. But I looked at H4 at first =P)

I have seen this exact situation in a tsumego, so I instantly knew what to look at.
Tsumego might make you lazy but they're still quite useful

Don't feel bad for being a kyu player and not spotting it - I looked over a game between two 3ds on KGS from like two years ago and this exact position came up - they played about a dozen 1-point gote moves at the end before they noticed it was seki! Useful position to remember as it is not too rare.

You make my heart warm again
At least, this position should stay in my memories for a long time

I immediately moved to counting since it was the end of the sgf. I was like, wait, white's just ahead, what's going on? And then I moved my face a foot back from the screen. It was like one of those "Once you see it... you'll s*** bricks."

Same position today in a 5d-4d game. Two 1-pt moves, two 1/2 pt moves, and then white saw it. W+5.5....

A year ago I wouldn't have seen the move(s) even with the big clue there are moves to be made. I would have given up and thought I wasn't a 'real' Go player. But now I can see them easily when I'm told. This gives me a warm feeling. Now I need to see it without being told. I wonder how many years until then . . . . And it seems so simple too . . . .

going H1 instead of F4 I think would've gotten it closer to a tie. 2 more points for 2.
if you don't like H1, do G1, it also takes away a point from black, but you lose sente doing it
not sure why but that seems better.
