Move 128 + 3

March 6, 2022

[16:22] jvandenbusken[3d]: sacrifice something

Move 128 + 10

[16:22] jvandenbusken[3d]: Now I feel a bit behind

[16:22] koszu1995[3k]: and what`s the balance them?

[16:22] koszu1995[3k]: oh really?

Move 128 + 15

[16:23] jvandenbusken[3d]: you can reduce here I think

Move 128

[16:24] jvandenbusken[3d]: this was a bit tricky from me

[16:24] koszu1995[3k]: yeah perhaps I should have reconsidered such a variation

[16:24] jvandenbusken[3d]: I played it knowing it was not optimal. Bad style from me

[16:24] koszu1995[3k]: I didn`t want to give up this corner though

Move 128 + 4

[16:24] jvandenbusken[3d]: you don't give it up completely

[16:24] koszu1995[3k]: that`s my typical problem when I don`t count territory :)

[16:25] jvandenbusken[3d]: I've started counting only lately

[16:25] koszu1995[3k]: :)

[16:25] jvandenbusken[3d]: up until 1d just fighting and killing stuff would bring me solid results

[16:25] jvandenbusken[3d]: now with AI, everyone roughly knows the weak points in each shape

[16:26] jvandenbusken[3d]: so tricking the opponent into a weird fight is harder

[16:26] koszu1995[3k]: I don`t really use tricks except some specific situations :)

[16:26] jvandenbusken[3d]: which forced me to count and overplay less

Move 116 + 5

[16:27] jvandenbusken[3d]: you could probe this

[16:27] koszu1995[3k]: what does it change?

[16:27] jvandenbusken[3d]: not that it changes drastically

[16:27] jvandenbusken[3d]: well, 1 more move for the R2 group

Move 116 + 20

[16:29] koszu1995[3k]: well, I would quickly become a dan player, should I count such possibilities in a course of game :)

[16:29] jvandenbusken[3d]: hmmm hard for me to say something about this shape

[16:29] jvandenbusken[3d]: can't see something direct

[16:29] koszu1995[3k]: risky still

Move 116 + 15

[16:30] koszu1995[3k]: and requiring deep analyse

[16:30] jvandenbusken[3d]: well

[16:30] koszu1995[3k]: which is hard to provide during limited time

[16:30] jvandenbusken[3d]: I judge most of these variation by "feeling"

[16:30] koszu1995[3k]: the same for me

[16:30] jvandenbusken[3d]: not reading everything out, no time for that

[16:31] koszu1995[3k]: so here comes the 3k feeling vs 3d feeling

[16:31] jvandenbusken[3d]: how long have you been playing?

[16:31] koszu1995[3k]: since march/april 2018

[16:31] jvandenbusken[3d]: oh fairly recently still then

[16:31] koszu1995[3k]: I used to play 6/7 games per day while living in Greece at Erasmus+ :)

[16:32] jvandenbusken[3d]: oh nice, what were you studying?

[16:32] koszu1995[3k]: I`ve got 1k more per each month

[16:32] koszu1995[3k]: so thorugh one year I`ve graduated from 15k to 5k

[16:32] koszu1995[3k]: I`m historian

[16:33] koszu1995[3k]: Right now working on PhD regarding late antique/byzantine cities in Levant

[16:33] jvandenbusken[3d]: sounds like a sea worth of history to study

[16:34] jvandenbusken[3d]: as in, huge amount of material

[16:35] koszu1995[3k]: yeah

[16:35] koszu1995[3k]: I will be narrowing this topic then

[16:35] koszu1995[3k]: I currently stay in Jerusalem

[16:36] jvandenbusken[3d]: cool, field study

[16:36] koszu1995[3k]: :)

[16:36] koszu1995[3k]: hope it`s gonna be beneficious

[16:36] jvandenbusken[3d]: living while observing stuff

[16:37] koszu1995[3k]: yeah it`s hard to imagine a better place for such studies

[16:37] koszu1995[3k]: especially when Syria and Lebanon are to unstable for a visit

[16:37] jvandenbusken[3d]: yeah, very unfortunate :(

[16:37] koszu1995[3k]: yeah, it`s particularly unfortunate in terms of archaeology

[16:38] koszu1995[3k]: which recently provided us with a very useful amount of knowledge from Israel and Jordan

[16:39] koszu1995[3k]: and how did you start to play?

[16:39] jvandenbusken[3d]: tell me when you finish writing theses about this stuff. While I find it intriguing, I'm highly ignorant about it

[16:40] jvandenbusken[3d]: in the ancient era of 2007, when the strongest AI was ayabot [3d]

[16:40] koszu1995[3k]: :)

[16:40] koszu1995[3k]: you know I wish I would write anything as for now :D

[16:40] jvandenbusken[3d]: recently I've started improving a bit thanks to AI and IGLO

[16:41] koszu1995[3k]: the best thing I can do is to recommend you a literature created by scholars far more experienced than me :)

[16:41] jvandenbusken[3d]: is there something beginner friendly among those?

[16:41] koszu1995[3k]: you play face to face now in Netherlands?

[16:41] koszu1995[3k]: sth can be found

[16:42] jvandenbusken[3d]: I actually live in Italy. I moved from the Netherlands when I was 6

[16:42] jvandenbusken[3d]: but soon I will attend a serious go club in Pisa, I will move there soon

[16:43] koszu1995[3k]: https://www.academia.edu/21780076/_From_Polis_to_Madina_urban_change_in_late_Antique_and_Early_Islamic_Syria_Past_and_Present_cvi_1985_pp_3_27

[16:43] koszu1995[3k]: I don`t know about this

[16:43] koszu1995[3k]: but this paper shows nicely what`s the actual research problem

[16:43] koszu1995[3k]: and how the studies are being led in this topic

[16:44] jvandenbusken[3d]: cool, thanks :)

[16:44] koszu1995[3k]: oh playing in Italy must be a great experience :)

[16:44] koszu1995[3k]: there`s actually a lot of books, reports and papers in this matter

[16:45] koszu1995[3k]: it just hard to estimate for me which one would be appropriate for the person who`s not working daily with such issues :)

[16:46] jvandenbusken[3d]: hmm, would it be possible to contact some1 from universities around you to ask for directions about it?

[16:47] koszu1995[3k]: you mean in Jerusalem?

[16:47] jvandenbusken[3d]: a japanese friend of mine came to Italy to study immigration related issues, he's been bouncing around universities in Italy to meet up with several teachers

[16:47] jvandenbusken[3d]: yes, in Jerusalem

[16:47] koszu1995[3k]: oh I`m in contact with several professors here

[16:47] koszu1995[3k]: it`s one of the reasons why I came here

[16:48] jvandenbusken[3d]: oh ok, that's good then

[16:48] koszu1995[3k]: Poland is actually a second-league country (although we have some decent specialists) when it comes to ancient and especially byzantine studies

[16:49] koszu1995[3k]: the biggest problem is actually an access to literature

[16:49] koszu1995[3k]: so every time you want to start some deeper research

[16:50] koszu1995[3k]: a foreign quarry in libraries is sometimes inevitable to find materials you need

[16:50] jvandenbusken[3d]: sounds...interesting

[16:50] jvandenbusken[3d]: but not optimal

[16:51] koszu1995[3k]: yeah, now things improved significantly

[16:51] koszu1995[3k]: thanks to the internet resources, open access and not-so-legal databases

[16:52] koszu1995[3k]: but I`d rather not imagine how my precedessors` work looked like 20 years ago without such facilities :)

[16:52] jvandenbusken[3d]: anyway, I gtg now. The game was fun and difficult. If you play like this every game, you should win and climb the ranks quickly. I would also recommend continuing some games until yose, even if you're behind. Refining your yose also requires a lot of practice

[16:53] koszu1995[3k]: yeah I surrender rarely :)

[16:53] koszu1995[3k]: the thing is probably about doing tsumego

[16:53] koszu1995[3k]: which I don`t make systematically

[16:53] jvandenbusken[3d]: same unfortunately

[16:54] koszu1995[3k]: furthermore since traditional tournaments ceased to be organised

[16:54] koszu1995[3k]: there`s no way to improve a rank

[16:54] koszu1995[3k]: except the internet

[16:54] koszu1995[3k]: so I lost most of hope that I become dan in a predictable future :)

[16:54] jvandenbusken[3d]: internet can provide a lot though, I played from 30k to 5k exclusively on internet

[16:55] koszu1995[3k]: yeah that was the same with me

[16:55] koszu1995[3k]: I`m talking rather about official confirmation

[16:55] jvandenbusken[3d]: real life tournaments are more fun though
