There's hope for the rest of us

This game - a 5D vs a 5D on KGS - was moderately amusing, particularly white's penultimate move.
Can anybody find a better move than filling the ko?

Interesting. My inner ddk moments usually last less than the entire game, not much less unfortunately

[palapiku]

A fitting end.

[TheBigH]

Wow. That's just... wow. I guess even dans can have moments of derpitude. What a way for a game to end. I'm the kind of guy who'd offer an undo if I were in black's position.

you forgot to censor the names on several occasions, at the end notably.

Thanks. I think I got them all now.

[Splatted]

Lmao I feel better about some of my recent games now.

If you need to do this in the future you can just open the sgf with a text editor and do a find and replace for the names you want to remove. (Won't work for typos by kibitzers though)

I was watching games on KGS tonight, and saw another one. This was 6D vs 5D

It ended by black's resignation.

It's a ko?

[ez4u]

Just looks dead after E6.

[Dusk Eagle]

White's last move is also really bad, since he could've lived with E4.

[HermanHiddema]

Yup. But white should have played E4 instead of F8, of course

Recently, I have had a string of games that seem to end that way either I or my opponent makes a brain dead obvious mistake(self atari or missing an easy capture), after a complicated Ko Fight or during an extended capturing race. I suspect it is due to some sort of fatigue or endurance problem.

[leichtloeslich]

It's clearly ko.
