Never be afraid to use your stones as forcing exchanges instead of keeping them alive

This is especially true on 9x9 I think. Bots are particularly good at sacrificing because they don't have the emotional attachments to their stones like humans do. So many of the impressive bot plays I have seen on 9x9 involve them dying early on but using the forcing moves and aji to win.

This is a game where I won as black while losing a 5 stones group. but... that was not planned in advence, so I feel being a bit lucky in that game ... and :w16:
