Thanks!

I thought about it, but I wanted to induce the B17 / K17 exchange.
:w16:

the problem with c11 is that I have to connect C9 soon. Is it really worthy ?
:w18:

I'm not sure about this one. It's good locally, but it seems so small globally.
:w40:

That was the initial plan, but what if black takes the corner ?
:w44:

I didn't want to kill. This looked too dangerous, my left side isn't so strong. Maybe I worry too much.
:w68:

good idea. It didn't even occur to me to do this.
:w72:

huh ? What if black plays G17 then ?
:w84:

Yes! I missed it in the game, and in the review. Thanks for this one.

12: I prefer not to induce that exchange, since the corner is quite big and it's the difference between letting white get settled and not.

16: Yes.

18: It's good.

40: Fair.

44: Two things. 1. Your left side is not weak at all. 2. When you play moves like this because you're afraid that you're too thin, you actually tend to make the thinness more severe. I learned this the hard way against a 6d.

72: You can atari it from the bottom, don't worry about one stone. I think sente is worth more at this point

I meant right side actually, but I think your point still stands. Thanks again.

Similarly, barring incident, Oren and I will play Thursday, 10 PM Central.

And now, to see if he plays violin backwards while watching my groups burn... (I try to be clever, and tend to fail =D).

oren · **#104**

I won against Chew Terr.

Thank you very much for the game, and thank you to Shaddy for the review. Oren, you played very well, and I look forwards to seeing you play (was it Joaz?) next.

There has indeed been a sudden change. Hopefully I'll see quantumf on KGS today and we can reschedule.

Barring surprises, CSamurai and I will play at 8/9 CDT/EDT tonight.

Surprises like this? :twisted:

That would be a pretty impressive way to miss a tournament game. =)

Man, I didn't expect that...

Dusk Eagle · **#110**

I for one was quite hesitant to open up that hide tag.

daniel_the_smith · **#111**

There were many mistakes on both sides and I guess mine were a little smaller.

EDIT: I forgot to say in the post game commentary, that I played handicap go on the left side. That is, I ordered my moves in the hopes of suggesting a particular misake, and got it. I'm not proud of this... Also, earlier-- I think black had much more deadly followups to that ko threat.

Joaz Banbeck · **#112**

I'm trying to assemble the 3rd round in the lower bracket. But I'm missing one game.

@gurujeet and psychee: have you played? Or has one of you withdrawn?

Joaz Banbeck · **#113**

Just to double check, the players who have journeyed to the lower bracket are:

3k Chew (Chew Terr)
5k Danielm (danielm)
5k Aphelion02 (Aphelion)
5k TimoJ (tj86430)
5k Tofu (Tofu)
6k tictac (perceval)
6k Phelan (Phelan)
7k Hushfield (Hushfield)
8k Schultz (Schultz)
8k Jordus (Jordus)
8k ChradH (ChradH)
8k Sevis (Sevis)
12k Sujisan (Suji)

I've got a cold and my brain is really fuzzy, so I'm trying to forestall mistakes. Can someone please tell me if this list is correct? Thanks.

We've rescheduled to the same time today (Monday).

jts · **#115**

I think quantumf forgot to post our game, which he won... W+0.5....

Solomon · **#116**

I've been having a bit of difficulty with my hosting server, where I'm getting some I/O connection time out error every time I try to connect to my FTP. So until I get that resolved, this will be a temporary solution for those itching for updates: http://students.washington.edu/schoe101/L19.html

emeraldemon · **#117**

Teracotta and I are tentatively playing at 4:30 today, CDT (UCT-5)

emeraldemon · **#118**

I won by 12.5. As always, comments are appreciated. I think if :w88:

had been at :b89:

I would have been in a lot of trouble.

Joaz Banbeck · **#119**

@Greendemon: Did you consider 61 at R8?

Aphelion · **#120**

Whats going on with the lower bracket? Are we still missing 1 game?
