Hey guys,

Initialy this player told me that he was 1d.
After winning 3 times from him (1 time with 4 handi and 2 time even) I wonder what his real strength is.
The wierd thing was that he seemed to know a lot of stuff. It felt like he knew exactly where to invade from experience etc but also missed something to be really strong. (compared to me)

Just out of intrest I wonder what strenght you guys think he is.

I'm black in this game.

Cheers,
Otenki



Second game:

Far from 1dan, more around your level.

i am not going to make hasty decision on his rank but i am sure that he plays many moves that dan level would never play.

It looks like he plays between all-out and over-overplay. Looks frightening, but if you play solidly, he sows the seeds of his own destruction.
