Life In 19x19 :: 39. Magicwand (3d) vs. Kirby (1d)

WHYYY?

I'm sad to see this, especially because I feel Kirby has the upper hand. I honestly believe this is white's desperate last moves before he resigns. Anything he says different is a trick/ mind game. This ko cannot be good for white even if black messes up a few times.

in my assessment white is ahead..
because the ko sometimes result unexpected result..i am not going to say that i will win.
but my feeling is that i am ahead and easily win.

Let's be honest though, how often do you not feel like this :lol:

already???
it is still anyone's game..

anyway...good game.
i hope you have learned alot from these games we played.
i will not ask you to play me 5 stones unless you want to play 5 stones.

if you have any questions let me know i will answer them much as i know.

If you would like, I will play at 5 stones. If you'd like to take a break, that's OK, too.

If Kirby wishes to take a break and Magicwand is agreeable, I'd like to play Magicwand. I think 3 stones would be appropriate.

i would love to play. set it up and i will start.

kirby: i dont think it is right to play you 5 stone. i have played many taugh handycap games during last 20 years. it is only natural. i have seen too many people losing money thinking they can win. i hope this series can teach everyone that playing for money with stronger player usually endup losing.

thank you for the game and thank everyone participated in observing.

Kirby: Take a break and regroup. You can still win this. EDIT: looks like I'm too late

Ketchup, while I still think this game is in Kirby's favor, I don't think its as lopsided as you think. This ko threatens the black bottom right group's eyespace, so it is potentially game changing.

I think from here the game is a perfect magicwand game setup. I think it's pretty close, but the style of the rest of the game will be very much to your liking, and I think that will be the deciding factor.

I am far weaker than both of you but from the your comments as the series progressed I get the feeling that you were playing down to the amount of the handicap. If you look at the first game you were actively searching for a way to win, but the last two games it feels like you actually believe that you are 3-4 stones weaker than Magicwand. Maybe the cure is an even game and trying your damnest to win.
