Yesterday, I resigned a game in which I was ahead :blackeye:


In case anyone is interested, here is the game:

White 186 is self-atari for the huge group, and stays ready to be captured until move 196.


Ah, yeah, recording error. We already exchanged some moves at the top, and white already captured there.

Alguein, I think it's 206 that lost it. The cut is bad.

Fixed the game record to remove the auto-atari :)

It took me a while before I understood. Probably you meant 208 lost it because w can't cut there.
Better still, I think, is to play w206 at J1. A nice eye killing move. It aims at the cuts of J7,J9 and K11 as soon as w fills up here.
I disagree though that these are the losing moves. I think preventing the loss in the upper right corner is enough. 218 or 222 at S19 for example. Or as Alguien suggests 224 at S16.
It seems from 206 w in a very subtile way conceals his intention to loose with 0.5 pt exactly.

To be honest, I no longer remember exactly what I was looking at.

I counted a finished game in a tournament wrong by as much as 3 points and declared my loss. Only to be informed by others that I counted wrong and win by half a point.

I think I've had that one happen to me. :-?

I was about 50 points ahead against a 9k. One bad move made it about 20 in his favor. I move 175
