Variation: black wins?
Yeah, I think if I was better I could've kept that bit ;(
If I was better I could have told you how to win. That's how I beat Jim when I do -- Jim tells me how to beat him :)
"don't give up! that group isn't dead!"
It's not?
No! Play here!

Oooo... that's neat. Pulls your stats from OGS. https://avavt.github.io/gotstats/#/user/dferret #go #igo #baduk #weiqi
Over 8 years I've played 347 different people! The future is amazing! Yay Internet!
In Go (weiqi, baduk), the word "urgent" is used a lot to identify what should be done first.
I wonder if it is an unfortunate mistranslation from Japanese, Chinese or Korean, because I think the most appropriate term should have been "critical" instead.
lol this fucking game man. I love hating it. I've got a 2-dan (WAY WAY better than me) telling me how I could have beaten a 3-kyu (WAY better than me) https://online-go.com/review/1452700
That decades of joy + suffering flow from a tiny list of rules you can learn in 2 minutes... extraordinary. #go #igo #baduk #weiqi
@icecolbeveridge Compare the technique of "tewari", from the game of Go, which asks, "Would these moves have been effective if played in a different order?"
(This makes more sense for Go, a game of placement, than for Chess, a game of movement.)
I'm thinking about starting a Go club. The nearest official one is 3 hours away in Louisville. This would start as just a little get together to learn and play, but if people are interested we could make it official signing up with the AGA and figuring out a proper meeting location instead of just "the park". We'll see, I own two go boards myself.

I took a picture of a Go board and digiKam thinks the black stones are faces.
Sometimes samurai duels are very, very short.

(Use the controls at the bottom to advance through the game. I was white; black resigned at the end of this sequence.)
Apparently I (white) blew this one early. Where should I have played instead?
