[22:37] Sarah Lisa[11k]: Hi! :)

[22:37] Sarah Lisa[11k]: Oh neat, how did you automatically produce the starting pattern?

[22:37] Farraway[4k]: I created a demo board and set it up.

[22:37] Sarah Lisa[11k]: Sweet, didn't know that was possible

[22:37] Farraway[4k]: You can then "Fork Game" from the position.

[22:38] Sarah Lisa[11k]: Cool! :)

[22:38] Farraway[4k]: Yes, I've only seen the button before, never used it.

[22:38] Sarah Lisa[11k]: Gotta head to bed now, but looking forward to the game

[22:38] Farraway[4k]: Even managed to set it so it was White to move. 👍

[22:38] Sarah Lisa[11k]: Haha sweet! :)

[22:38] Sarah Lisa[11k]: How come I only have 0.5 komi even though you far outrank me? :P

[22:48] Farraway[4k]: Well, my rank is for Go.

[22:48] Farraway[4k]: This is tibetan Go, we're both beginners.

[22:49] Farraway[4k]: And I think i made this an unranked and untimed game; so the result won't affect your rank 👍

[10:03] Farraway[4k]: Gosh, this really is a very different game.

Move 10

[10:39] Farraway[4k]: I'm thinking that taking the outside in the first fight of the game might be a fairly big advantage.

[10:39] Farraway[4k]: Because everything is so close by, the influence should be very useful.

[10:40] Farraway[4k]: However, because the board is small, the middle is worth much fewer points, so i wonder if it balances out.

[14:56] Sarah Lisa[11k]: Hey sorry, only just saw your comments

[14:57] Sarah Lisa[11k]: From the few games I've played so far, I do feel like it balances out

[14:57] Sarah Lisa[11k]: But much more experience is needed :)

Move 14

[16:38] Farraway[4k]: It's difficult to know what to do.

[16:39] Farraway[4k]: But the principles still stand; with K16 you are crawling on the 2nd line. That should be good for me, as my stones are guaranteed to have more potential.

Move 17

[18:45] Sarah Lisa[11k]: Yeah I'm still an absolute beginner at go, teaching myself what works from trying things out

Move 18

[23:33] Farraway[4k]: Me too 😊

Move 26

October 7, 2017

[16:29] Farraway[4k]: I want to protect the corner from that nasty score rule.

[16:29] Sarah Lisa[10k]: Haha I don't think we should play with those rules since they're not enforceable anyway :)

[16:29] Sarah Lisa[10k]: But of course it's a good idea anyway to protect the corner :)

[16:30] Farraway[4k]: I don't know

[16:30] Farraway[4k]: I've been playing with those rules in my mind.

[16:30] Farraway[4k]: But i can't envisage them being useful

[16:30] Farraway[4k]: If someone takes all four corners and tengen, then they've probably won anyway with or without the extra points.

[16:30] Sarah Lisa[10k]: That's what I've been thinking

[16:31] Sarah Lisa[10k]: The few games I've finished so far, it wouldn't have made a difference in the end

[16:31] Farraway[4k]: So what are you going to do about your C11 group?

[16:31] Farraway[4k]: You have no eyes, the C7 stone pincers you against my wall

[16:31] Farraway[4k]: Looks bad.

[16:32] Sarah Lisa[10k]: Haha told you I'm a beginner :) I'll figure something out

[16:32] Farraway[4k]: You need eye space.

[16:32] Farraway[4k]: And you should run away from my wall - maybe D8?

[16:42] Sarah Lisa[10k]: I hope it's not rude, but I'd ask you not to give me advice until after the game. :)

Move 30

[16:54] Farraway[4k]: Sorry, I hadn't meant to - it's something I tend to do in unrated games. I think out loud, I guess.

[16:54] Farraway[4k]: Here's a good example; game 9754838

Move 108

October 12, 2017

[20:40] Farraway[4k]: Yes, it's called a monkey-jump I think. I remember I was about 17 kyu when someone used it against me.

[20:40] Farraway[4k]: I thought it was quite rude!

Move 109

[20:41] Farraway[4k]: senseis: MonkeyJump

Move 110

[20:43] Sarah Lisa[12k]: gg :)
