buzzsaw[3k]: Have a good game
buzzsaw[3k]: Hello
asAStone[4k]: Yes, thanks. May we both have a good game then. :)
Move 1
buzzsaw[3k]: yes we shall both
Move 228
asAStone[4k]: ) And here I read it out to be saving me a point, to not connect the T 11. How wrong I was! :)))
buzzsaw[3k]: I wasn't sure about this
buzzsaw[3k]: but it was worth a try
asAStone[4k]: Amazing how many things we get away with in our games, untill some one tries something, that others thought to ignore. And then we end up finding out that those things others ignore are teaching us bad habbits of thought.
buzzsaw[3k]: true
Move 235
buzzsaw[3k]: good game
asAStone[4k]: funny.,. :) thanks for the game.
asAStone[4k]: Other than my terrible thinking. :))
asAStone[4k]: was fun.
buzzsaw[3k]: thanks
asAStone[4k]: welcome. :)
asAStone[4k]: Do we both need to file the results?
buzzsaw[3k]: no
buzzsaw[3k]: jar you
buzzsaw[3k]: just you
buzzsaw[3k]: you need to get the url
buzzsaw[3k]: for the report
asAStone[4k]: yes, where is that location?
buzzsaw[3k]: on the side
buzzsaw[3k]: link to game
buzzsaw[3k]: I can't believe what an idiot I am. That I was actually going for the top
buzzsaw[3k]: I had a plan and then saw the throw in. It was so stupid to do the throw in
asAStone[4k]: Oh, because the other capture was worth more?
buzzsaw[3k]: yes
buzzsaw[3k]: It would have easily won the game
buzzsaw[3k]: was thinking I could get it next but did not think about you saving it
asAStone[4k]: seems about 26 points more.
buzzsaw[3k]: yes
buzzsaw[3k]: It is huge
asAStone[4k]: I had a chance to save it too, with p 15
asAStone[4k]: earlier.
buzzsaw[3k]: it would have been easy to let me have one stone
buzzsaw[3k]: but once you did not do that
asAStone[4k]: and then, if I read out the right side chase more..
buzzsaw[3k]: and chose to extend
buzzsaw[3k]: then I was going to have enough liberties
asAStone[4k]: to give you a few points and also..
buzzsaw[3k]: to atari
buzzsaw[3k]: and I wish I had never seen the throw in
buzzsaw[3k]: That is what I get for going off plan
asAStone[4k]: Just that R 11
asAStone[4k]: Variation: 1
asAStone[4k]: Would have fixed both.. silly me.
buzzsaw[3k]: yes that would have worked
buzzsaw[3k]: I am going to be kicking myself over this
buzzsaw[3k]: for a long time
asAStone[4k]: I hope I have learned this lesson WELL! :)))
asAStone[4k]: thanks for teaching me this. What I should allready know. :))
buzzsaw[3k]: well I stumbled on it
buzzsaw[3k]: though I did read the whole $*!% thing out
asAStone[4k]: Same here.. very silly of me, more than you! :)
buzzsaw[3k]: so for that I am proud
asAStone[4k]: Did you really expect me to ingnore R 11 though?
buzzsaw[3k]: no
asAStone[4k]: I did that because of being too confident of a earlier read. And did not take the time to read it out again. Just thought you were being silly. :)
buzzsaw[3k]: I expected you to connect
buzzsaw[3k]: and then I was going to n19
buzzsaw[3k]: I had all that planned
asAStone[4k]: I think P 15 was my best idea that I let slip by.
buzzsaw[3k]: yes
asAStone[4k]: Was too concerned about p 17
asAStone[4k]: Variation: 2
buzzsaw[3k]: This one is going to probably be in my blog
buzzsaw[3k]: incase you are interested.
buzzsaw[3k]: terrischurter.blogspot.com
asAStone[4k]: Do you also play rated game on OGS with a this or some account that I can come and watch you?
asAStone[4k]: thanks for the link
buzzsaw[3k]: I play correspondence almost exclusively
buzzsaw[3k]: with this account, but I am going to start playing live games
buzzsaw[3k]: my rating will drop if I do
asAStone[4k]: okay. And on gokgs.com also?
buzzsaw[3k]: on kgs I am buzzsaw
buzzsaw[3k]: as well
asAStone[4k]: for rated games on KGS?
buzzsaw[3k]: I have not recently but probably should
asAStone[4k]: okay, Well, I hope we play some more live games. :)
buzzsaw[3k]: what is your name on kgs?
buzzsaw[3k]: same?
asAStone[4k]: We can push eachother to not do these kinds of mistakes.
buzzsaw[3k]: that would be great
asAStone[4k]: AStone on kgs
asAStone[4k]: I use to play on your Wings GO club :)
buzzsaw[3k]: Yes. I thought that was you
asAStone[4k]: I still have the mug you sent me for wining second place in a tournament. :)
buzzsaw[3k]: It was a slightly different name here
buzzsaw[3k]: That is great
asAStone[4k]: )
buzzsaw[3k]: So if I recall correctly
buzzsaw[3k]: you were a few stones stronger than I then, right?
asAStone[4k]: Yes, I went from 9 Kyu to 5 Kyu, maybe at that time.
buzzsaw[3k]: your AGA rank now?
asAStone[4k]: I have not played AGA since 2005.
asAStone[4k]: So my rank is outdated.
buzzsaw[3k]: unfortunately they won't let you demote
asAStone[4k]: I have been giving at least 4 handicap to 9 Kyu AGA rated people.
buzzsaw[3k]: so it will be a painful slide down in tournament play
buzzsaw[3k]: Great
asAStone[4k]: ? How so?
buzzsaw[3k]: so you are still that strong
asAStone[4k]: painful?
buzzsaw[3k]: You said your rating was outdated
asAStone[4k]: I am stronger than 5 Kyu on KGS now.
buzzsaw[3k]: That is great
asAStone[4k]: my AGA rating is too low.
buzzsaw[3k]: so you will have no trouble
asAStone[4k]: since not playing ranked AGA since 2005
buzzsaw[3k]: so that is what you meant by outdated
buzzsaw[3k]: it is too low
buzzsaw[3k]: got it
buzzsaw[3k]: okay so then I should not feel too bad about losing :-)
asAStone[4k]: I agree. :)
buzzsaw[3k]: You really had that game sewn up
asAStone[4k]: My KGS rank is 4 and then 3 Kyu just recently.
buzzsaw[3k]: until that side business
buzzsaw[3k]: and then a screwed it up
asAStone[4k]: yes, I really messed up, BIG TIME!
buzzsaw[3k]: I screwed it up
buzzsaw[3k]: we both kind of did
asAStone[4k]: Was trying save one point, by not connecting. :))))
buzzsaw[3k]: in a well won game
asAStone[4k]: so silly of me.
buzzsaw[3k]: you have to play some defensive moves when you are rich
asAStone[4k]: yes, :)
buzzsaw[3k]: Okay so we should play some games
buzzsaw[3k]: and you will beat the $*!% out of me
buzzsaw[3k]: and tell me what I did wrong
asAStone[4k]: Sound good, Look foward to that.
buzzsaw[3k]: now go report your victory
asAStone[4k]: And you will help me to not ignoring reereading things, before being too confident.
buzzsaw[3k]: Thanks again
buzzsaw[3k]: it was a lot of fun
asAStone[4k]: Pride goes before the fall. :)
buzzsaw[3k]: yes
asAStone[4k]: Thanks again.
buzzsaw[3k]: bye for now
asAStone[4k]: bye for now.
