Move 3
fishku[1d]: thanks. Did you see the remarks and review I made for the last game?
mft0[6k]: I have now
Move 4
mft0[6k]: thanks.
mft0[6k]: I don't quite uderstand the comment on 244 though.
Move 5
fishku[1d]: It's a compliment that you were quick to implement the concept I told you in practice!
Move 7
February 14, 2019
mft0[6k]: I actually wanted to pass, but I know I always pass too early, so I made that move instead P:
Move 9
fishku[1d]: pass when? 244 of last game?
fishku[1d]: well, with "endgame" I was also referring to the last couple of moves before 244 :)
fishku[1d]: when you'd not pass yet
Move 11
mft0[6k]: ok, then it makes more sense
Move 85
February 26, 2019
fishku[1d]: yes, correct recovery :) black cannot get a good result by starting the ko here
fishku[1d]: Variation: Why does black K7 not work ultimately?
February 27, 2019
mft0[6k]: Variation: Because you can escape?
mft0[6k]: Variation: Maybe more like this
Move 86
fishku[1d]: Variation: If R14 wasn't there, black could capture in a ladder! However R14 breaks the ladder and white can escape.
fishku[1d]: Variation: Compare to this.
Move 87
fishku[1d]: argh, it pains me to do this :p but now I can play more "teaching game" instead of trying to attack everywhere
Move 91
fishku[1d]: in which areas of the board do you think white has the biggest potential for attacking black?
Move 92
mft0[6k]: Somewhere here
fishku[1d]: yes, very good! huge move.
Move 93
fishku[1d]: any other situation that seems a bit dangerous? Not trying to get you to play there immediately :)
mft0[6k]: White playing something like P5 or Q5 ?
fishku[1d]: yes, exactly
fishku[1d]: if you want to try :)
fishku[1d]: I'm not 100% sure though, it's quite complicated
Move 112
mft0[6k]: lets see
Move 113
fishku[1d]: Variation: I think J18 was key here :)
fishku[1d]: g19 changed the status, and I didn't go back to fix it :O
Move 116
mft0[6k]: lets see if I got it right this time
fishku[1d]: hehe, these problems are above the typical level of a 13k ;) but I think a lot can be learnt in combination with the analysis tool here, that's why I pose them like that
fishku[1d]: Variation: E19 is key. One way to kill. C19 is a false eye.
fishku[1d]: Variation: Another key move is A18, which steals an eye in sente. This is also dead.
fishku[1d]: the difference to the game now is that c19 is a real eye because black D18 can be recaptured with E18 immediately (no ko)
fishku[1d]: Variation: Like this
Move 125
fishku[1d]: n13 is gote. Are there sente moves for black?
mft0[6k]: Yes, I didn't see the recapture until my last move
fishku[1d]: oh, so you read that far?
fishku[1d]: :)
mft0[6k]: yeah, if it was a ko, it would have worked, but I forgot that it doesn't work because there are two stones
fishku[1d]: yeah, as I said, it's fairly tricky. In a game with fast time limits I probably would never find such finesses
mft0[6k]: I did n13 because I thought that this was one of the biggest things on the board.
Move 131
March 7, 2019
fishku[1d]: I think there were bigger points. By the "rule" of corners->sides->center, it's better to surround something in the corner or on the side before surrounding central territory around o14
fishku[1d]: still blocked?
March 11, 2019
mft0[6k]: Yeah, I was blocked almost the whole week last week.
Move 157
mft0[6k]: My dad pointed me to the lower level bots, so I gave them a try as well. It turns out they only work when you enable the time limit.
mft0[6k]: Nevermind
Move 191
fishku[1d]: :)
mft0[6k]: or not, since you have to respont to live anyway
mft0[6k]: respond*
Move 203
fishku[1d]: I take some suboptimal moves to keep the game close when I feel it increases the pedagogic effect and when the game is sufficiently close :) but well spotted. And it's good that you played elsewhere and took sente
fishku[1d]: black has some weaknesses on the left side which I didn't exploit, can you se ethem?
fishku[1d]: see them**
March 19, 2019
fishku[1d]: yes, good
Move 205
fishku[1d]: how would white b15 play out?
mft0[6k]: Variation: I think I would be able to survive b15
Move 206
fishku[1d]: Variation: survive, yes, but also lose points :0
fishku[1d]: Variation: white can cut somewhere else even
Move 215
fishku[1d]: you like it dangerous, huh? ;)
Move 217
mft0[6k]: I guess I still need to learn the hard way a couple of more times : P
fishku[1d]: I see something there
fishku[1d]: This game was hard in the beginning, and soft in the end
fishku[1d]: I'll switch around for the next one
mft0[6k]: P: I failed to see it again
fishku[1d]: Thank you!
March 24, 2019
fishku[1d]: This game swung around when white was able to live with both groups on the top (corner and upper side). Before that, black was comfortably ahead. I found that we both analyzed and played the life&death fights wrongly. You played killing moves both times, but did not finish the group off completely.
