This game - a 5D vs a 5D on KGS - was moderately amusing, particularly white's penultimate move.
Can anybody find a better move than filling the ko?

Interesting. My inner ddk moments usually last less than the entire game, not much less unfortunately :lol:

Wow. That's just... wow. I guess even dans can have moments of derpitude. What a way for a game to end. I'm the kind of guy who'd offer an undo if I were in black's position.

you forgot to censor the names on several occasions, at the end notably.

If you need to do this in the future you can just open the sgf with a text editor and do a find and replace for the names you want to remove. (Won't work for typos by kibitzers though)

I was watching games on KGS tonight, and saw another one. This was 6D vs 5D

It ended by black's resignation.
Can anybody find a better move than resigning?

Just looks dead after E6.

White's last move is also really bad, since he could've lived with E4.

Yup. But white should have played E4 instead of F8, of course :)

Recently, I have had a string of games that seem to end that way either I or my opponent makes a brain dead obvious mistake(self atari or missing an easy capture), after a complicated Ko Fight or during an extended capturing race. I suspect it is due to some sort of fatigue or endurance problem.
