| Post subject: | Unusual games |
Have ya'all had any odd or unusual games, recently? Last night I played an odd one online. First, we took the star points. Next, my opponent took tengen. I was surprised, but not as surprised when his next two moves were two 3-3 invasions under my star points. I built two walls facing each other, and he took the center star between them. It became a huge fighting game, with him trying to use the tengen stone, and me trying to use my huge influence. I had just started rereading Attack and Defense, so I particularly wanted to use my strength to win fights, instead of building territories directly. Anyways, I do not want a review, because I did not really treat the game very seriously once I saw my opponent's fuseki. But it was an odd and interesting game, so I figured I may as well share it as an oddity. Does anyone else have any unusual or interesting games to share? |

Here's one I played recently, that also featured a double 3-3 invasion by my opponent. It was a serious game, though. I don't think my opponent was very happy with the result, since he didn't stick around to review.  I don't usually get to play moyo games like this. It was fun.

Weird, I just had a game last night where I killed two 3-3 invasions. The first was completely reasonable to kill (though I stumbled during the process, R1 should obviously be at S1), the second was pretty much me getting lucky. |

Hmmm. Between watching that game and reading some of the recent stuff in the WMS-Magicwand Malkovich, I feel like I've learned a few things today about fighting unreasonable 3-3 invasions. Thanks for sharing =D |

I'm amazed Black didn't play N16 at move 43 - did he not realise the ladder worked?? |

Well, like I said, it was a fast game, which is why I wasn't as serious in my reading as I would've been in a serious game. And I'm embarassed to admit, I thought my stones to the side broke the ladder, which they don't... quite. Edit: Sigh, back to chapter one of Lessons~

Don't be too embarrassed - check out when my 4k opponent misread an even easier ladder at move 62. Of course, It's slightly mitigated by me missing O12 at move 55... |
