Review by: ldlework[4k]
ldlework[5k]: Yeah there's no way to have so many people play
ClickDecision[9k]: interesting idea
ldlework[5k]: It works fine
ClickDecision[9k]: yeah cool
ClickDecision[9k]: so we need one more person yeah?
ClickDecision[9k]: this is like 2v2?
ldlework[5k]: yeah
carot[4k]: I was wondering how the mechanics were going to work. OK, this makes sense.
ldlework[5k]: hi carot
ldlework[5k]: OK we'll go, me click, then carot
ldlework[5k]: just say your move in chat
carot[4k]: I'm terrible at 13x13 though.
ldlework[5k]: it's cooperative
ldlework[5k]: :)
Move 0 + 1
ClickDecision[9k]: so im on my own team?
ldlework[5k]: no you play a move for white
ldlework[5k]: next you'll play a move for black
ldlework[5k]: and so forth
Move 0 + 2
ClickDecision[9k]: oh weird
ClickDecision[9k]: so im playing against myself?
ClickDecision[9k]: who am i rooting for lol
Move 0 + 1
ldlework[5k]: we're all trying to contribute the best moves we can
ldlework[5k]: then we'll review
Move 0 + 2
ClickDecision[9k]: i think it'd be more fun with set teams
Move 0 + 1
ldlework[5k]: the point is that no one wins or loses and we can get to playing stones without any anxiety of winning or losing
ldlework[5k]: sorry I thought I explained in full
ldlework[5k]: are you saying you would not like to play?
Move 0 + 3
ClickDecision[9k]: still think teams would be cooler but ill tag along
Move 0 + 1
ldlework[5k]: well no pressure to go through with it if you can't have fun
ldlework[5k]: your turn otherwise!
Move 0 + 3
ClickDecision[9k]: i just played the last 2 turns
Move 0 + 1
ldlework[5k]: that's not how demo boards work
ldlework[5k]: just say your move in chat
Move 0 + 3
ClickDecision[9k]: so you don't see what I see in game?
Move 0 + 1
ldlework[5k]: ...
ldlework[5k]: it's a demo board
ldlework[5k]: if you start a variation, no that's private
ldlework[5k]: but *you* can see what *I* do
ldlework[5k]: so say your move and I will place it on the board >_>
ldlework[5k]: I didn't make this website, sorry.
Move 0 + 2
ClickDecision[9k]: I see so atm all that's on the board is the black stone on the star point yeah?
Move 0 + 1
ldlework[5k]: Yeah
Move 0 + 2
ClickDecision[9k]: ok then d4
ldlework[5k]: \o/
Move 0 + 2
carot[4k]: I have no idea what's good fuseki in 13x13. But soon I'm sure we'll get into fighting.
Move 0 + 2
ClickDecision[9k]: calm your $*!% mate. this is not at all a common way to play
ldlework[5k]: Sorry, but I feel a lot of pressure to conform to your expectations when this was just supposed to be a lighthearted study exercise.
ldlework[5k]: carot, your turn for black :O
Move 0 + 3
ClickDecision[9k]: right well I didn't know at all what to expect
ClickDecision[9k]: certainly not this since I've never heard of it til now
ClickDecision[9k]: but it's fine
ClickDecision[9k]: just needed a better explanation at the outset
Move 0 + 2
ldlework[5k]: Sorry I didn't meet your expectations! I hope you get it now.
Move 0 + 3
ClickDecision[9k]: carot you still deciding?
Move 0 + 2
ldlework[5k]: :S
Move 0 + 3
carot[4k]: I forgot it was my turn.
Move 0 + 2
ldlework[5k]: np
ldlework[5k]: remember to say your move in chat
ldlework[5k]: not place it on the board
Move 0 + 4
carot[4k]: OH
Move 0 + 2
ClickDecision[9k]: how often have you tried this with people?
Move 0 + 4
carot[4k]: I will ... but why?
Move 0 + 2
ldlework[5k]: Because this is how the demo board on this website works.
ClickDecision[9k]: i gotta imagine you'd have to explain to people over and over what to do lol
Move 0 + 4
carot[4k]: But I've been placing my moves on the board, and it's been working so far.
Move 0 + 2
ClickDecision[9k]: we can't see them though
ClickDecision[9k]: so we have to tell him
ldlework[5k]: Yes, you can do private variations, just like when you view a board on this website in any context.
Move 0 + 4
carot[4k]: Oh!
carot[4k]: C11
carot[4k]: ty
Move 0 + 4
ldlework[5k]: now click for black
ClickDecision[9k]: hmmm
ldlework[5k]: an so on
Move 0 + 5
ldlework[5k]: :O
ClickDecision[9k]: kinda regret that a little haha maybe the 4th line would be better
ldlework[5k]: I like how the board looks for black
ldlework[5k]: good move :)
ldlework[5k]: carot for white...
ClickDecision[9k]: heh thanks we'll see how it goes : )
ClickDecision[9k]: carot you thinking on this?
ClickDecision[9k]: i think it's your move yeah?
ldlework[5k]: I will write down the rules of Adventure Go for the future
Move 0 + 4
carot[4k]: But I just played C11.
Move 0 + 5
ldlework[5k]: carot
ldlework[5k]: the point behind adventure go
ldlework[5k]: is we cycle between white and black
ldlework[5k]: every player plays both colors
ldlework[5k]: you played black last time
ldlework[5k]: so now you play white
ldlework[5k]: notice there are three of us
carot[4k]: I must have not played C11 then.
ldlework[5k]: You did play C11
ClickDecision[9k]: im just glad im not the only who got confused lmao
ldlework[5k]: You are probably still viewing a private variation
ClickDecision[9k]: click that sync button
carot[4k]: Ah, but when I did the board didn't show K5. OK. I understand now.
ldlework[5k]: and not the most recent move on the main variation of the demo board
ldlework[5k]: Nice
ldlework[5k]: I will write it all down for next time
ldlework[5k]: So what's your move for white carot?
carot[4k]: E11. White should mess up the middle and then play L11.
ldlework[5k]: So E11 for white?
carot[4k]: Yes.
Move 0 + 6
ldlework[5k]: nice
Move 0 + 7
ldlework[5k]: click for white
ClickDecision[9k]: yeah imma thinkin
ClickDecision[9k]: yuck i dont like white's spot lol
carot[4k]: But white can attack black on the left now.
ldlework[5k]: that's what I was thinking
carot[4k]: I think white is winning. (Remember white has komi.)
ldlework[5k]: 4 space jump = bad
ClickDecision[9k]: well don't hate for me messing this up lol
ClickDecision[9k]: not a position im familiar with
ldlework[5k]: we wont, it's all about exploring a game progression together
ldlework[5k]: get it
ldlework[5k]: "adventure go"
ldlework[5k]: ;)
Move 0 + 8
ldlework[5k]: I never play 5/4 corners in my own games :P
ClickDecision[9k]: yeah me neither ^
ldlework[5k]: but if we're going on an adventure... might as well
ldlework[5k]: :D
ldlework[5k]: I hope you can see the spirit behind the exercise
ldlework[5k]: carot for black
carot[4k]: B9
carot[4k]: although I'm not sure why.
Move 0 + 9
carot[4k]: Black could push through at D10 ... but I just don't like that.
ldlework[5k]: just feels good :)
Move 0 + 10
ClickDecision[9k]: hmm
ldlework[5k]: imagine having like 8 people go on an adventure
Move 0 + 11
ClickDecision[9k]: maybe too conservative?
ClickDecision[9k]: wonder if I should've played a bigger move
carot[4k]: It's fine. Got to stay alive.
ldlework[5k]: nah, i think instead my move was too aggressive
carot[4k]: F8
Move 0 + 12
ldlework[5k]: ooo
Move 0 + 13
ldlework[5k]: :O
carot[4k]: But now white's safe in the middle and has sente.
carot[4k]: White can just ignore C3.
ldlework[5k]: you think?
ClickDecision[9k]: can it??
ClickDecision[9k]: that seems reckless
carot[4k]: If there's something big to play, yes.
ldlework[5k]: black d3 is important
ldlework[5k]: when i study with bots, they NEVER let me ignore a 3x3 invasion during review
ClickDecision[9k]: yeah that seems nuts
ClickDecision[9k]: i think i have to respond
ClickDecision[9k]: otherwise we lose the corner
ClickDecision[9k]: well more of the corner
ClickDecision[9k]: haha
ldlework[5k]: not to shut you down, i would hear the reasoning you have
ldlework[5k]: sorry
carot[4k]: Exactly. You've lost the corner. Another move here is small.
ldlework[5k]: white should block d3
ldlework[5k]: imo
ldlework[5k]: black d3 isn't just the corner anymore
ClickDecision[9k]: you'd give black the whole side?
ClickDecision[9k]: and the corner?
ldlework[5k]: black will get one
ldlework[5k]: left or bottom
ClickDecision[9k]: my instinct was c4
ldlework[5k]: well always aiming to cut is good
ldlework[5k]: i am fine with either block, i can argue either but white *should* block I think
ldlework[5k]: but i'm bad at go so
ClickDecision[9k]: well let's do c4 and if it's bad you can demonstrate why
Move 0 + 14
ldlework[5k]: carot's turn
carot[4k]: B4
Move 0 + 16
ldlework[5k]: click for black
Move 0 + 17
ClickDecision[9k]: how does one expand on a 5-4 corner haha
carot[4k]: B5
ClickDecision[9k]: i keep looking at that trying to think what to do with it lol
Move 0 + 18
carot[4k]: I don't think anything on the right is urgent.
ClickDecision[9k]: no it's not but in the future
carot[4k]: Especially after H11 - that was a good move IMO.
ClickDecision[9k]: im wondering what to do with it
ldlework[5k]: argh
carot[4k]: Eventually, someone will play K3 or L3.
carot[4k]: Either side can play either of those points.
ldlework[5k]: k3 is my favorite
ldlework[5k]: i want to sacrifice B4
Move 0 + 19
ldlework[5k]: let's do it
ldlework[5k]: (or not, up to us! haha)
ClickDecision[9k]: hehe
Move 0 + 20
carot[4k]: K3
carot[4k]: Black is just dead in the bottom left now. :-(
carot[4k]: Unless black gets to approach it from the right, later.
ClickDecision[9k]: only issue with this adventure style is I don't know if I'm supposed to be happy about any outcome lol
ClickDecision[9k]: who am i rooting for!? xD
carot[4k]: Exactly!
ldlework[5k]: we'll check in review
Move 0 + 21
ldlework[5k]: i feel like you should be able to approach any board position
ldlework[5k]: for any color to move
ldlework[5k]: and try to decide the best move
ldlework[5k]: that's the point, not to win or root for any color
ldlework[5k]: I have no idea where to go though
ldlework[5k]: haha
Move 0 + 22
ClickDecision[9k]: did you just play at l8?
ldlework[5k]: as the demo operator I can't do private variations
ldlework[5k]: yeah
ClickDecision[9k]: ah okay
ldlework[5k]: before I was reading B2 A4 E2
ldlework[5k]: but I trust carot it doesn't work but I want to read it out in review
ClickDecision[9k]: hmm that left corner is driving me nuts
carot[4k]: Black can get OUT of the corner, as ldlework says ...
carot[4k]: ... but will have nowhere to make eyes ...
carot[4k]: ... unless black approaches from the right first.
carot[4k]: Hint hint.
carot[4k]: Or black could take the upper right corner.
carot[4k]: I'm not sure which is bigger.
ldlework[5k]: B2 A4 E2 D2 D1 E3 G2 something like that
carot[4k]: Not E3. But otherwise yes.
ldlework[5k]: so
ClickDecision[9k]: imma go with....
ClickDecision[9k]: g3?
ldlework[5k]: there's a few additional players that want to join
ldlework[5k]: do we want to welcome them to the game / start over / reject them?
Move 0 + 23
ldlework[5k]: I went with welcome
ldlework[5k]: carot for white
ldlework[5k]: do you block at D2?
carot[4k]: Yes.
carot[4k]: Although it's painful for white, now that black's approached. :-(
ldlework[5k]: yeah that's why I think my progression was needed at the time
ldlework[5k]: it is
carot[4k]: Now white needs sente, to invade the upper right.
carot[4k]: And I don't see how white gets sente. Hope black makes a mistake, maybe.
ClickDecision[9k]: that concept is lost on me. why is sente required to attack the corner?
ldlework[5k]: hi kadoban
carot[4k]: Because it's black's turn! White's just played at D2.
Move 0 + 24
kadoban[?]: hello
carot[4k]: Although that move's not showing up, so I'm not surprised you're confused.
carot[4k]: Hi kadoban.
ldlework[5k]: sorry
carot[4k]: nw
ClickDecision[9k]: im not very good at thinking about the game either
ClickDecision[9k]: so there's that too
ldlework[5k]: do we not enter the middle as black?
carot[4k]: And the reason white needs to attack the corner is that now all the groups are safe, so we can count points, and I believe white is behind on points if black gets the corner. Although I haven't actualyl counted because I'm lazy.
ldlework[5k]: m11?
ldlework[5k]: l11?
carot[4k]: Yes, or M10. I think M10 is safer, but we should read out M11.
carot[4k]: Not I11. White gets almost no points that way and black gets thick.
ldlework[5k]: hm m10 safer than m11?
ldlework[5k]: it's black's turn
carot[4k]: Yes ... unless white can kill black. WHich might be possible. Hm.
carot[4k]: I don't know.
carot[4k]: If L10 kills black then of course that's good!
carot[4k]: And maybe it does.
ldlework[5k]: it's black's turn
ldlework[5k]: black M11
carot[4k]: Oh right.
ldlework[5k]: seems like safety
carot[4k]: I was thinking head. Sorry.
ldlework[5k]: black M11 or M4
ldlework[5k]: can't decide
carot[4k]: So M10 or L10.
carot[4k]: M4 is not sente.
Move 0 + 25
kadoban[?]: What's the format of this? We just discuss the next move all together really?
carot[4k]: Now we should count, but
ldlework[5k]: well we've kind of devolved into that
ClickDecision[9k]: (i still think team go is better : P )
carot[4k]: ... I think white's in trouble. Maybe should try to kill black at the bottom.
ldlework[5k]: but since it's collaborative and a study exercise that's ok
ldlework[5k]: click your turn
carot[4k]: Shall we count? Black has about 12 at the top right.
ClickDecision[9k]: yeah white not lookin great from my noob eyes
carot[4k]: Maybe 8 in the top left.
carot[4k]: At least six on the bottom.
carot[4k]: So that's > 26.
kadoban[?]: White can play B6, maybe cutting off those two black stones. Bottom right is probably more urgent though
carot[4k]: White has say four on the right, four in the middle, and 12 in the bottom left, plus komi.
carot[4k]: So it's actually quite close. I was wrong to be too worried for white.
carot[4k]: I agree with kadoban: B6 is good, but not urgent.
ldlework[5k]: I like a shoulder hit near the bottom for white
ldlework[5k]: or even cap
kadoban[?]: I'm thinking more corner. L3 if it works
carot[4k]: Why not white L3?
carot[4k]: Yes.
ClickDecision[9k]: sure
Move 0 + 26
ldlework[5k]: kadoban for black
carot[4k]: Black can't reply with L4 because of the weakness on the left.
kadoban[?]: I think cap or whatever would be better if white already has B6
kadoban[?]: Black probably L2 maybe?
carot[4k]: I think so, yes.
Move 0 + 27
kadoban[?]: K4 or L4. Probably L4?
ClickDecision[9k]: hey i gotta run sorry guys
ClickDecision[9k]: was fun though
carot[4k]: K4 looks good to me.
ldlework[5k]: "...but not as fun as team go"
Move 0 + 28
kadoban[?]: Now black gets to pick psycho or passive. M3 or J3
kadoban[?]: Or is L4 possible?
carot[4k]: If playing on the right, I think M4.
carot[4k]: But I think J3 is bigger, no?
carot[4k]: Sorry not M4! I misread that.
ldlework[5k]: my intution is that black k2 forces white to fix
carot[4k]: M3 is a gote sequence, so that's a problem.
ldlework[5k]: then black can do a more serious move in the middle
kadoban[?]: Well M3, can white J3? What happens?
carot[4k]: White can J3 then, yes.
carot[4k]: ldlework, I'm not sure K2 is sente.
kadoban[?]: Then black take, then ... atari?
ldlework[5k]: black would get the stone for sure
carot[4k]: I think black's best hope at sente is M2.
carot[4k]: Only that's so small. :-(
ldlework[5k]: capturing race
ldlework[5k]: black K2, white tenuki, black L4 white M3 black M4
kadoban[?]: M2 now seems not forceful enough. White will be happy to play J3 and it's going to be sente to get like the whole center
ldlework[5k]: black is going to win
ldlework[5k]: am I wrong?
carot[4k]: Seems close to me. See count above.
kadoban[?]: Black seems like should be ahead after J3 or K2 maybe
carot[4k]: I'm going offline fairly soon. For some reason I thought this was going to be a correspondence game ... although doing it live is fine.
Move 0 + 29
ldlework[5k]: let's see white tenuki and black resist the atari
carot[4k]: Whose turn is it?
ldlework[5k]: kadobon
ldlework[5k]: for white
carot[4k]: I'm wondering whether white M3 is sente.
carot[4k]: It's tricky for black to live if black ignores white M3.
kadoban[?]: It could be sente, but black wants to respond in the middle probably anyway so I dunno if it matters
kadoban[?]: wM3 probably bG5 ?
ldlework[5k]: I was thinking M3 E5 lol
ldlework[5k]: but that's bad
carot[4k]: But the middle is very small, unless any of the groups can be severely attacked there.
kadoban[?]: E5 looks possibleish too
carot[4k]: Black can come into the middle from the top or the bottom, so they're miai.
kadoban[?]: The middle is small, except there's not much else to do anyway
ldlework[5k]: E2 is sente
carot[4k]: The top and the right are both still quite big.
kadoban[?]: M3 looks kind of required for white
carot[4k]: And B6.
ldlework[5k]: so is white not gonna fix
kadoban[?]: L6 is a fun shape move for black sometime
kadoban[?]: White really doesn't want to fix, probably has to though?
ldlework[5k]: exactly
ldlework[5k]: why i just had to go k2
carot[4k]: I would want to play M3 as white, because I think it's sente.
ldlework[5k]: then black can rethink
kadoban[?]: I think just M3. It's "sente" in the sense that black is going to respond anyway, but it's not the good kind of sente
ldlework[5k]: it's sente but black wants to respond
ldlework[5k]: heh yeah
kadoban[?]: It's sente to make black eat our own face
kadoban[?]: I think m3 though, I don't see how to avoid it
carot[4k]: I've just realised what we need. We need a strong player!
ldlework[5k]: L4
carot[4k]: One would do.
kadoban[?]: Other option is crazy play for center, but it doesn't look good
ldlework[5k]: well
ldlework[5k]: we're supposed to discuss this stuff after
ldlework[5k]: but i don't mind ^_^'
ldlework[5k]: I make a rule about Adventure Go that during the game only emotes are allowed.
kadoban[?]: L4 possible. I would only play it because of shape towards L8 though. If it fixes L6 shape point? I dunno
kadoban[?]: I don't think it fixes enough
ldlework[5k]: It just means black M3 is slower
ldlework[5k]: But still good..
ldlework[5k]: I think you're right
kadoban[?]: L6 and M5 shape points are ... scary as white
ldlework[5k]: Oh M4 is nice
ldlework[5k]: makes B M3 really really bad
ldlework[5k]: well nm
ldlework[5k]: go with your gut you're the strongest person here!
ldlework[5k]: XD
kadoban[?]: M4 I think black will just still ignore, and probably later get M3
kadoban[?]: I think white has to m3, it's just not satisfying
ldlework[5k]: to the merit of K2 :)
kadoban[?]: It's that or crazypants H2 or something
kadoban[?]: Try to trick black into getting the corner
ldlework[5k]: :O
ldlework[5k]: let's play
ldlework[5k]: cuz carot has to go
ldlework[5k]: get it
ldlework[5k]: go
kadoban[?]: Ya that's fine
kadoban[?]: Oh do I play?
ldlework[5k]: just say which move you want
ldlework[5k]: for white
kadoban[?]: M3 I suppose
Move 0 + 30
kadoban[?]: Now black ...
Move 0 + 31
ldlework[5k]: deal with it
kadoban[?]: Probably something like G5? miai to get by cutting off B6 or Playing J9ish and getting stuff there?
kadoban[?]: I don't think it's sente enough to respond
ldlework[5k]: carot for white
kadoban[?]: Hm, did carot already have to leave?
carot[4k]: E1
Move 0 + 32
ldlework[5k]: sick move
carot[4k]: I'm still hoping to make black take gote.
kadoban[?]: Kind of want to ignore as black. I didn't like E2 much though, so I dunno if black has to play f2 or something instead
ldlework[5k]: sorry :(
carot[4k]: You can't ignore YET. You don't want to die!
kadoban[?]: Well ignore at G5 or something
kadoban[?]: Won't die
Move 0 + 33
kadoban[?]: Haha, no need to apologize, I dunno if E2 is even bad. I just don't like the feel of it
ldlework[5k]: sorry e2 was attrocious
ldlework[5k]: lol
carot[4k]: Ooh ooh white has to M2 now.
carot[4k]: That's worth several points, and sente.
kadoban[?]: M2 is looking largeish
kadoban[?]: What about H4? What does black do?
ldlework[5k]: cut
ldlework[5k]: J4
ldlework[5k]: chase that white thing left and up
ldlework[5k]: connect to upper right
ldlework[5k]: live on the bottom
ldlework[5k]: I'm basically a 9p
kadoban[?]: If J4, I'm thinking J3 and try to make trouble
carot[4k]: Whose move?
ldlework[5k]: kado
kadoban[?]: Hm, maybe that doesn't work for white
ldlework[5k]: M2 J4?
kadoban[?]: Okay, just M2
ldlework[5k]: white can crawl around L1 get three more points.. but it is slow endgame move
Move 0 + 34
ldlework[5k]: carot for black
carot[4k]: H8
carot[4k]: Because black can't get more than a couple of points on the bottom no matter what they do. :-(
Move 0 + 36
ldlework[5k]: O_O
kadoban[?]: That's probably not bad
ldlework[5k]: I regretted it immediately
kadoban[?]: E6 or something for white, try to kill?
ldlework[5k]: yeah that's what I was thinking
kadoban[?]: For black I mean
ldlework[5k]: yeah, but that means I shoulda went there
ldlework[5k]: lol
ldlework[5k]: your turn
kadoban[?]: Maybe
kadoban[?]: E6 is good enough. I dunno the right point near there
Move 0 + 37
kadoban[?]: H12, see what black wants?
kadoban[?]: White has to live with that thing up there
ldlework[5k]: carot you still there?
Move 0 + 35
carot[4k]: Hi yes.
Move 0 + 37
ldlework[5k]: how will white liveo n the top
Move 0 + 36
carot[4k]: F2
Move 0 + 37
ldlework[5k]: that move is already there
ldlework[5k]: in a variation?
Move 0 + 36
carot[4k]: White has H7 or C12
Move 0 + 37
ldlework[5k]: which one you want
Move 0 + 36
carot[4k]: Oh, am I playing black?
Move 0 + 37
ldlework[5k]: no white
ldlework[5k]: i think you're desynced
Move 0 + 36
carot[4k]: Didn't white just play F2?
Move 0 + 37
ldlework[5k]: no black played E6
Move 0 + 36
carot[4k]: I'm not seeing that. :-/
Move 0 + 37
ldlework[5k]: refresh
carot[4k]: OK
carot[4k]: C12
Move 0 + 39
ldlework[5k]: i hope this is sente
ldlework[5k]: lol
carot[4k]: That is very sente.
ldlework[5k]: kadoban says they can't rejoin for some reason
carot[4k]: $*!%!
