Move 17

February 26, 2025

[23:10] sigue[2k]: are you seeing the AI suggested moves while I move forward?

Move 19

[23:11] scotto[7k]: Now I am. turned it on

[23:11] sigue[2k]: It really wants you to play j4. :)

Move 49

[23:12] scotto[7k]: Yeah, that bottom center is something I should look at more closely

[23:12] sigue[2k]: mmm, just disconnecting me with j2 seems big.

Move 49 + 5

[23:13] sigue[2k]: i would never see n3 here

Move 49 + 10

[23:14] sigue[2k]: interesting. still feels not bad for black.

Move 53

[23:14] scotto[7k]: looked messy to me

Move 53 + 3

[23:15] sigue[2k]: maybe this. I know the AI doesn't like p8 but it's probably what i would play.

Move 54

[23:16] sigue[2k]: I still haven't done much with AI guidance. It seems like a big problem is that it has trouble suggesting moves at our level.

[23:16] scotto[7k]: yes

[23:16] sigue[2k]: "Why didn't play this move? You only have to read 20 moves ahead."

Move 58

[23:17] sigue[2k]: I felt like this was a bit of a gift. (j17)

[23:17] sigue[2k]: It's big, but so is me turning at k7.

[23:18] sigue[2k]: And j17 would still be there later, because for me that area is gote.

[23:18] scotto[7k]: yeah

[23:18] scotto[7k]: classic proverb, hane head of 2-3

[23:19] scotto[7k]: and closer to connecting to the G4 group

[23:20] scotto[7k]: years ago, I golfed a lot and played in a work league.

Move 63

[23:21] scotto[7k]: I tended to play 50-50 pars and bogeys

[23:21] sigue[2k]: r11 was kind of a probe and to create aji.

[23:21] scotto[7k]: and once every 9 holes, I'd get a 10

[23:22] scotto[7k]: I feel that's how my go is

[23:22] sigue[2k]: Golf is great. I only ever got into it really for a couple of years for some reason. (with my wife)

[23:23] scotto[7k]: I wasn't sure how best to respond to the probe, but felt I should somehow

[23:23] scotto[7k]: I know I wanted to keep it separated from the stones below

[23:24] sigue[2k]: Keep 'em Separated. Great song by Offspring, if your into the heavier stuff. :)

Move 70

[23:25] sigue[2k]: r18 is too defensive, IMO

Move 69 + 5

[23:26] sigue[2k]: you should be fine in the corner.

Move 71

[23:26] scotto[7k]: Yeah, I think unneeded moves like that are one of my issures

Move 72

[23:27] sigue[2k]: L11 seems a bit aimless.

Move 69 + 3

[23:27] sigue[2k]: I guess the thing is that my stones around r11 are weak enough that your o10 group doesn't need to worry very much (yet).

[23:28] sigue[2k]: Once (and if) r11 connects out to o15, then it would be time to worry about the o10 group for sure.

Move 73

[23:29] sigue[2k]: and now it's connected out.

Move 74

[23:29] scotto[7k]: I seem to act too soon or too late

Move 73

[23:30] sigue[2k]: That never ends, as far as I know. We just do it for different things as our rank increases. heh

[23:30] sigue[2k]: L10 makes me think "what if L11 had been at L10 in the first place?"

Move 71

[23:30] scotto[7k]: AI has been wanting my to wedge Q13

Move 71 + 1

[23:31] scotto[7k]: yeah, L10 seems better

[23:32] sigue[2k]: Sorry, I'm half reviewing, half chatting with my wife who is getting on an airplane. :)

Move 76

[23:32] scotto[7k]: no prob,

Move 79

[23:33] sigue[2k]: AI wants me to j5 right away...interesting.

Move 80

[23:33] sigue[2k]: Even after k13. wow

Move 93

[23:34] sigue[2k]: This was good play by black in this area. I honestly didn't expect to be disconnected.

Move 98 + 5

[23:35] sigue[2k]: huh

[23:35] sigue[2k]: crazy ai

Move 106

[23:36] sigue[2k]: It's so funny that for much of the game the AI is like WTF guys, when are you gonna play j2 or j5?

Move 109 + 2

[23:37] scotto[7k]: yeah, and it will say everything else is bad, which can be misleading

Move 110

[23:38] sigue[2k]: I think t10 was a big one. I felt like n13 let me off too easy at the time, but I couldn't tell for sure.

[23:38] scotto[7k]: yeah, I have to look at that

Move 113

[23:39] sigue[2k]: I really debated whether to play j18. It's not a really honest move because I knew you shouldn't respond to it.

[23:39] scotto[7k]: I didn't think I could kill your group so went for both live

[23:39] sigue[2k]: At least n13 was sente.

[23:40] scotto[7k]: I thought if I blocked at T10 you'd be able to get 2 eyes

Move 108

[23:41] sigue[2k]: No. I was just hoping that i could win the race, but looking at it now, I think you must have 3 or 4 more liberties.

[23:42] sigue[2k]: (If only I could count liberties.)

Move 117 + 1

[23:42] scotto[7k]: if only I would read better !!

Move 117 + 5

[23:43] sigue[2k]: You and me both, man.

[23:43] scotto[7k]: I think too, I lack confidence in my reading

[23:43] scotto[7k]: so it might be OK reading but don't trust it

[23:43] sigue[2k]: Do you ever do reading problems? (I don't, but it would probably help.)

[23:44] scotto[7k]: I've recently started doing more of those on a regular basis

[23:45] sigue[2k]: In what format? Book? Online?

[23:45] scotto[7k]: Also, I saw a video by BenKyo (a streamer), he mentioned that for him reading in games has been the best for improvement

[23:45] scotto[7k]: online, like Tsumego Hero

[23:46] scotto[7k]: and others sites

[23:46] scotto[7k]: and from books

[23:46] sigue[2k]: Cool. Maybe I can do it right after my daily Duo Lingo. heh

[23:46] scotto[7k]: tons of stuff available

[23:47] scotto[7k]: tsumego hero has thousands of problems

[23:47] scotto[7k]: there's also a "black to play"

[23:47] sigue[2k]: I'm off to make dinner. Talk to you later. If you'd like another game send me a challenge.

[23:47] scotto[7k]: a site called go problems

[23:48] scotto[7k]: ok,
