trohde[8k]: Good game!
BHydden[7k]: Hi :-) let's have a good game!
trohde[8k]: But I need to find my bed now …wish you a good rest of the day!
Move 15
BHydden[7k]: Hey :) sleep well
trohde[8k]: but hey, that’s why we have proverbs, eh? “The One-Point Jump Is Never Bad” :-D
Move 35
June 28, 2024
BHydden[7k]: Not happy with how I'm handling the top. Was hoping to hold onto sente but not sure I will.
Move 37
June 30, 2024
BHydden[7k]: Be interesring to see what AI thinks of my last 6 moves... I think overall it's an ok position, probably I was dreaming earlier anyway 😅
Move 41
BHydden[7k]: I don't have the confidence to tenuki every move, I'll just keep puppydogging 😅
trohde[8k]: similar here, I’m afraid. I also have the feeling as if my Go is deteriorating … last year I scratched 3k for a very short time (or was it 4k?) … and then quickly fell back to 9k 😳😓
trohde[8k]: if (when?) I fall back to DDK I should perhaps switch to Tic-Tac-Toe 😅
August 4, 2024
BHydden[7k]: If AI says I blunder on my next move... fair 🤷♂️
BHydden[7k]: Tic-tac-toe*
August 8, 2024
trohde[8k]: Heh, before I got into Go a little more seriously, I played a lot of Chess, mostly from my twenties to my mid-thirties … I appreciate the crystalline beauty of Chess, and then I found that I LOVE the organic beauty of Go 😊
Move 51
August 12, 2024
BHydden[7k]: Yes I was also a chess player for most of my life until I found Go, there was a bit of overlap between the two but not too much
Move 53
August 18, 2024
trohde[8k]: Funny how your “most of my life” gets me thinking … while I first encountered Go at the age of ~7 already (my father wanted to convince my mother to play, but she wouldn’t, sadly, and with me he played too tough and competitive, and didn’t understand enough of the game to be able to teach me),
trohde[8k]: and while later I tried a few times to teach myself and get friends involved, in my teens, 20s, and my early 30s, it was only in my early 40s (end of the 1990s) that I began playing more seriously, namely after finding Go online.
trohde[8k]: when I regularly played with a friend in my end-20s, he and I didn
trohde[8k]: didn’t understand enough, and we did Komi with Handicap by multiplying 6.5 with the number of HC stones 😂
trohde[8k]: we played for about 1.5 or 2 years, once a week, playing one or two rounds of Go and same with Chess, those were long evenings … later he quit, and said he didn’t like my “bad style of playing” (he lost more often than I did) … he also thought of my technique of sacrificing “poisoned” figures in Chess as an “unfair” tactic 🤷♂️
trohde[8k]: I regret that I wasn’t able to convince him that “it’s just a game” and that such tactics were part of the game … and later we lost sight of each other, sadly
Move 54
BHydden[7k]: That is unfortunate. I found Go in my mid-twenties, and OGS already existed by then as it was less than a decade ago. I really wish I could have known about it while I was at university, but still it has been a good journey so far.
Move 55
October 7, 2024
BHydden[7k]: Sorry for the long delay. I have a bad habit of over thinking corr games , not that it helps I just worry needlessly about things far beyond my ability to read 😅
trohde[7k]: And you … pls don’t ever apologise again for delayed move 😉
trohde[7k]: at least to me
trohde[7k]: and you wouldn’t have had to before this current crisis either, as I’m known for often using all my time
trohde[7k]: withdrawing nicotine again (and hopefully for the last time), after 51 years of smoking
trohde[7k]: and the symptoms of withdrawal are horrible 🤷♂️
trohde[7k]: AND they multiply my current cluelessness also 😅
Move 57
BHydden[7k]: Best of luck with your health pursuits. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak 😅
Move 58
November 13, 2024
trohde[7k]: thx bro, it’s slowly slowly getting a li’l better. Not funny though. But then again, there’s not much that’s really funny, is there? Is why we humanimals invented jokes? 😄
trohde[7k]: BTW, is also why Chrysippus, an ancient Greek philosopher, is one of my saints 😄
trohde[7k]: W is not happy
BHydden[7k]: Not convinced black is either. Computer probably sad too.
trohde[7k]: “Computer probably sad too.” that made my late evening!
trohde[7k]: Thanks!
BHydden[7k]: I envision a rather spiky graph after this one 😅
Move 73
BHydden[7k]: I found this move kinda by accident but I think it works pretty well. Look forward to seeing what KG thinks after the game
BHydden[7k]: Can't believe we're only at move 73 haha with how complicated this game got I thought it was more like 150
Move 74
trohde[7k]: my only two MLog comments so far in this game simply state how clueless W is …
trohde[7k]: as if the game wouldn
trohde[7k]: wouldn’t show it 😆
trohde[7k]: W resign in 3-2-1?
Move 79
BHydden[7k]: I could be wrong, but I think if all the groups live except P10, I should win 🤔🙏
trohde[7k]: Happy belated Solstice!
December 24, 2024
BHydden[7k]: Merry Christmas 🙂
Move 80
trohde[7k]: W unhappy also
trohde[7k]: Merry Christmas to you also
trohde[7k]: I swear I had some variation where W lived 😅
trohde[7k]: but din save it 🤷♂️
trohde[7k]: so …
trohde[7k]: Sche!ße :-D
trohde[7k]: Thanks for the game, you played better!
trohde[7k]: Another?
BHydden[7k]: Oh wow that was a lot closer than I thought! I thought one of us was winning big but wasn't sure who
BHydden[7k]: Not right now life is a bit busy
BHydden[7k]: Thanks for the game
