I never played on 9x9 while learning (learned playing 19x19 on IGS...), started recently, enjoying it a whole lot. I don't know any 9x9 specific theory - I'm just going to aim for accuracy and complexity in my reading this game...

Good luck Redundant. Also, how's Japan treating you ?

I too never played on a 9x9 while learning. I just started recently, and I play much weaker on the 9x9 board, because it`s all tactics and endgame. It`s definitely a totally different beast than the 19x19.

Japan has been amazing. I got to play a 1k at the Ki-in and beat him pretty well. I also managed to pick up some tsumego book that`s very interesting. On a non-Go front, Kyoto had awesome temples, and the Obon festival was amazing.

Good luck to both of you!

It will be interesting following a smaller game like this.

A point handicap white usually gets to compensate for black's initial sente. But that's not important right now. (if the reference escapes you)

I think they meant to ask what the value of komi is...

Oh, I believe we're using New Zealand Rules.
Essentially superko (no repeated board positions), komi=7, area scoring. (The superko rule stops single stone suicide, but not multiple stone suicide. Komi being a whole number, ties are possible.)

I'll post a move after I'm over my jet lag.

Would you like to restart ?

(I gotta distract you so I can win that ko somehow)

Edit: Oh, you broke the ko somehow already. Are you alive there already? Dead ? Are we just moving on to a different ko ? ???????

Also; if I am in a Malkovich game with you (Shaddy, MW) I resign if I haven't mentioned it to you already).

I have no idea what I was thinking with my last move ... but here goes nothing

I did mean would you like to restart from nigiri onwards if you're keen ?

Jedo · **#16**

Redundant, what were you doing in Kyoto and what was it like, especially in terms of go? I ask because I'm studying abroad there next spring.

Sounds good. I think I've gotten a good deal better at 9x9 in the time since this game started.

I didn't have the time to do any go playing in Kyoto, but it was awesome. The temples are amazing, and the whole city is just beautiful. My only advice is to not go in August, as the heat is almost unbearable.

Let's get some nigiri happening.

(I am hiding either odd or even);
