May 4, 2022

[12:55] katelyndelta[2k]: have a good game :pray:

[12:55] katelyndelta[2k]: as many undos as you want btw

Move 2

[12:56] Seren-35[?]: Oh right I chat here now.

[12:56] katelyndelta[2k]: lol

[12:57] Seren-35[?]: This is hard because every game you've explained to me was on a 19x19 board lmao.

[12:57] Seren-35[?]: I have no idea how they go on 9x9.

[12:57] katelyndelta[2k]: haha don't worry too much

Move 7

[12:59] katelyndelta[2k]: nice, taking corner territory

Move 12

[13:04] katelyndelta[2k]: so at this point, how would you describe the position

[13:04] katelyndelta[2k]: overall

[13:04] katelyndelta[2k]: like who's doing what

[13:05] Seren-35[?]: hmm

[13:05] Seren-35[?]: You have a lot of presence in the bottom left. I have two sort of disjoint bases on the left and right.

[13:06] Seren-35[?]: And you're making sure I don't get too much territory by connecting them.

[13:06] katelyndelta[2k]: right

[13:06] katelyndelta[2k]: good job

Move 13

[13:14] Seren-35[?]: Okay idk how I feel about this one.

[13:15] katelyndelta[2k]: not bad!

[13:15] katelyndelta[2k]: it's putting pressure on that weak knight's move connection

[13:16] katelyndelta[2k]: and taking territory at the same time

[13:16] Seren-35[?]: yay

[13:16] katelyndelta[2k]: i think the most severe move i could do would be d7 here

[13:16] katelyndelta[2k]: but it gets into more intense reading lol

Move 20

[13:22] katelyndelta[2k]: so what do you think this move is for

[13:23] Seren-35[?]: hmm

[13:24] Seren-35[?]: So I don't think it's so much for keeping my black groups separate anymore because they pretty much already were.

[13:25] Seren-35[?]: Maybe to some extent.

[13:25] Seren-35[?]: I'd imagine more so still for limiting my territory.

[13:25] katelyndelta[2k]: like imagine if you ignored this move right

[13:25] katelyndelta[2k]: to play somewhere else

[13:26] Seren-35[?]: You start getting a lot of the top border.

[13:26] katelyndelta[2k]: at the very least, jumping into the top right a bit

[13:26] Seren-35[?]: yeah

[13:27] katelyndelta[2k]: but it does have some access to the top left too

[13:27] katelyndelta[2k]: so it's kind of threatening to reduce on both sides at the same time

Move 27

[13:29] katelyndelta[2k]: so remember what i said about sente before gote

[13:29] Seren-35[?]: uh huh

[13:29] katelyndelta[2k]: i definitely have a defect now

[13:29] katelyndelta[2k]: at d4

Move 28

[13:30] katelyndelta[2k]: but first i'm going to threaten to take your stone

[13:30] katelyndelta[2k]: because it gives me a little better shape for moves on the top

[13:30] Seren-35[?]: right

Move 30

[13:30] katelyndelta[2k]: and now i'll defend

[13:32] Seren-35[?]: Okay so this looks largely resolved now.

[13:32] Seren-35[?]: I just have to figure out which place is most valuable and defend/expand there.

[13:32] Seren-35[?]: Probably top left frankly.

[13:32] katelyndelta[2k]: haha

[13:33] katelyndelta[2k]: the top left is very much in danger of dying right now

[13:33] Seren-35[?]: lmao right

[13:33] katelyndelta[2k]: like i don't want to kill it

[13:33] katelyndelta[2k]: but it is a close game

Move 31

[13:34] katelyndelta[2k]: nice move

Move 36

[13:37] Seren-35[?]: Lmao let me stare at that.

[13:38] katelyndelta[2k]: no staring

[13:38] katelyndelta[2k]: play immediately

[13:38] katelyndelta[2k]: go is not a thinking game

[13:39] Seren-35[?]: Like I wanna say that does not require a response?

[13:39] Seren-35[?]: But it's scary.

[13:40] katelyndelta[2k]: that's the game

[13:42] Seren-35[?]: Oke I'm gonna ignore that and you might show me how it goes horribly wrong.

Move 40

[13:44] Seren-35[?]: hmm

Move 44

[13:46] katelyndelta[2k]: (I just filled it because I owe you the move, once the neutral points were filled i would have to play it)

[13:46] katelyndelta[2k]: (and score estimator doesn't always catch things like that)

[13:47] Seren-35[?]: Do I have to play another black stone at H4 or is this considered fine?

[13:47] katelyndelta[2k]: score estimator? the scoring engine

[13:47] katelyndelta[2k]: lol that's up to you

[13:47] Seren-35[?]: gdi

[13:47] katelyndelta[2k]: you could try counting the score and seeing if you can do it and still win

[13:47] katelyndelta[2k]: to be super safe

[13:48] katelyndelta[2k]: or just try to read if it's a problem

[13:49] Seren-35[?]: It's currently 22-19.5 by my count.

[13:49] Seren-35[?]: So should be fine if I do.

[13:49] Seren-35[?]: Is it a problem...

[13:50] Seren-35[?]: There's no way it is.

[13:51] Seren-35[?]: Although I'm pretty sure if you chose to enter there, I'd lose points trying to stop you because this scoring system is weird.

[13:51] katelyndelta[2k]: only if you placed more stones than i did

[13:51] katelyndelta[2k]: because if i play a stone and it dies you get +1 point

[13:51] katelyndelta[2k]: so you playing 1 stone would counterbalance that

[13:52] katelyndelta[2k]: keeps it even

Move 46

[13:53] Seren-35[?]: gdi

[13:53] katelyndelta[2k]: :among:

Move 48

[13:54] katelyndelta[2k]: (there was nothing)

[13:54] Seren-35[?]: I figured.

Move 49

[13:55] katelyndelta[2k]: clicky button

[13:55] katelyndelta[2k]: yay

[13:55] Seren-35[?]: woo

[13:55] katelyndelta[2k]: also you're legally not allowed to complain about "letting you win" or w/e

[13:55] Seren-35[?]: lol

[13:56] katelyndelta[2k]: i kept it simple and you made good decisions where they came up

[13:56] Seren-35[?]: yay

[13:56] katelyndelta[2k]: Review: ##870835

[15:06] katelyndelta[2k]: she also

[15:06] katelyndelta[2k]: played a4 instead of defending the atari at g1

[15:06] katelyndelta[2k]: after thinking about it for a while

[15:07] katelyndelta[2k]: which actually resulted in her winning the game
