Move 18

December 30, 2020

[18:16] Daimo[3k]: One comment - I think you should focus on opening theory in your studies. Playing away from joseki makes you have a tough position, and when you’re behind in the opening it’s hard to catch up!

[18:17] Daimo[3k]: Variation: You invaded the 3-3 and then abandoned the corner

[20:28] Tongue[7k]: Thanks, Daimo. I was using the AI planting a corner stone and then proceeding with playing elsewhere. It’s a technique that I’m exploring. Without the corner stone, the corner is yours, so little to lose.

Move 19

[20:29] Tongue[7k]: But I know the basic mantra is to finish a joseki.

Move 21

[20:50] Tongue[7k]: Weird, Daimo...an opponent of mine just accused me of sandbagging whatever that is.

[20:51] Tongue[7k]: I’ve never even heard of it, but assume it’s resigning too early or too late or something, I dunno. I

[20:52] Tongue[7k]: He resigned our game at 50 or so moves in, then started messaging me that I “sandbagged”.

Move 23

December 31, 2020

[1:32] Daimo[3k]: I've never heard of sandbagging before to be honest!

[2:24] Tongue[7k]: Me neither LOL But he seemed adamant that I was guilty of it. LOL I told him to take it to the Mods. LOL

[2:31] Daimo[3k]: "Sandbagging involves deliberately losing rated games in order to lower one's rating so that one is eligible to enter the lower-rated section of a tournament with substantial prize money."

[2:31] Daimo[3k]: according to google for chess.

[2:32] Daimo[3k]: I guess he's grumpy that he lost. Some people really only care about their rank, not about much they enjoy the game.

[2:32] Daimo[3k]: They don't realize that no matter how good you get, you still lose ~%50 of your games

Move 24

[2:36] Tongue[7k]: Wow, thank you for for information on sandbagging. He must be a grumpy gus about having to resign so early (tbh, I think he resigned too early, I wasnt that far ahead). I see your point...its his way of justifying his grumpy loss. lol. Thank you Daimo. I feel better knowing that I definitely am not sandbagging...in fact, the opposite...I'm trying desperately to win a couple games LOL

Move 26

[2:48] Daimo[3k]: Haha! It is so easy to lose dozens of points in the endgame! Definitely not worth resigning before 200 moves unless you've lost a big dragon

[4:41] Daimo[4k]: game 27104602

[4:42] Daimo[4k]: And then sometimes I resign at move 200 even when I’m ahead because apparently I still don’t know how to count! Haha

Move 27

[4:51] Tongue[7k]: Wow, thanks for the link! AI had you swinging it all the way back. Intriguing. Tomorrow I'm going to review the suggested moves by Yoonyoung for you. Thank you! I'l try to stop the click-through when i see her alternate chain upcoming, then play a few moves to see what I might have done.

Move 62

January 1, 2021

[1:15] Daimo[4k]: Nice moves. I should have played like this:

[1:16] Daimo[4k]: Variation: Maybe this?

Move 63

[1:20] Tongue[7k]: Variation: My response to white move 1?

[1:21] Daimo[4k]: Variation: I think this is how I’d respond

Move 64

[1:22] Daimo[4k]: Nice shoulder hho

[1:22] Daimo[4k]: Hit*

[1:22] Daimo[4k]: You’re playing strong!

[1:22] Daimo[4k]: Wishing you the best for 2021 my friend 🙏🏼

[1:24] Tongue[7k]: Oh I see how you would have played it...thanks for showing that. Haha, playing strong only from finally watching some Dwyrin videos and remember that this is a surrounding game, not a save every stone on the board game (like you told me, too).

[1:24] Tongue[7k]: Happy 2021! ✨

Move 66

[1:27] Daimo[4k]: Have you been sandbagging me???! 😉

[2:23] Tongue[7k]: hahaha Sandbagging...my new vocab word for 2021.

Move 74

[17:37] Daimo[4k]: Happy New Year!

Move 76

[22:25] Tongue[7k]: Celebration 2021!

Move 79

January 2, 2021

[2:24] Tongue[7k]: I thought about my k11 for a long time. Several choices there. I’m likely all wet with he one I chose. 😆

Move 93

January 3, 2021

[0:14] Daimo[4k]: I think the best advice I could give you is to consider corners and sides as more important than the middle of the board.

Move 94

[0:15] Daimo[4k]: Variation: You should have taken this corner

[0:15] Daimo[4k]: Variation: Something like this might result

[0:16] Daimo[4k]: Variation: This 4th line stone allows my extension to be very efficient because is threatens this slide

[0:17] Daimo[4k]: Variation: Much safer to establish a strong foundation

[0:18] Daimo[4k]: Variation: White and black’s influence are cancelling each other out now

[0:20] Daimo[4k]: Variation: Less than 20 points for all these stones!

[0:21] Daimo[4k]: Variation: Same number of points with half the stones!!

[0:52] Tongue[7k]: Thanks Daimo. But if I took the lower right, wouldnt you have simply taken the upper left instead of wing (shamari?) in the second Variation? I thouhht by playing 4-4 point opening, one is basically choosing a territorial rather than corner game?

[0:54] Tongue[7k]: I can see the counting variations you'ver added, thank you. I guess I am confused when players choose a territorial versus corner game as a play plan.

Move 95

[1:01] Daimo[4k]: 4-4 balances corner and territory, 3-3 or 3-4 is more territory, and the 5-4 point is more focused on influence

Move 100

[2:59] Tongue[7k]: Okay, I see, Daimo. Thank you

[2:59] Tongue[7k]: Your variations are very helpful, thanks for showing me

Move 140

January 5, 2021

[2:41] Daimo[4k]: Variation: Keep an eye out for belly attachments!

[2:42] Daimo[4k]: Variation: Ouch

[2:42] Daimo[4k]: Variation: Big reduction

[19:03] Tongue[7k]: Thank Daimo, but in the Ouch variant, I think white would have gone A10 instead of dropping down. I sure with I knew how to create a variation to show you.

[19:06] Tongue[7k]: Only issue with Big Reduction variant is that I am still not alive, which is my biggest concern and woulkd be even at the end of that variation, I think, no?

Move 141

[19:47] Daimo[4k]: Variation: you're connected

Move 142

[20:52] Daimo[4k]: Variation: could also do this, the stone at B10 is maybe not that important

January 6, 2021

[4:36] Tongue[7k]: OKay, thank you, Daimo. I see.
