Breakfast is coming for you, Uberdude!

The other question is how would a rematch go?

[shapenaji]

Uberdude vs Shapenaji would be a good match, IMHO,

We are playing, he really likes to fight and the fighting is reaching an almighty climax.

Game on!

Cool! I would love to play a slow, serious game with Alex. Obviously in a real-life tournament he can easily beat me, even giving several handicap stones, but I am interested to see what difference the extra time makes.

A big difference. The game is now in the late yose and I don't want to count my chickens before they've hatched, but it seems like I'm going to win by around 4 points.

Yeah, this game went pretty cross-eyed, not going to drag it out too much longer, but I'm pretty sure you've got this one

Looking forward to more exciting games from you guys

for obs only not for the players:

i am not too sure about the cat in the bag.
it certainly is not 4 point lead.
i counted and it was 2.5 point lead with white having advantage on thickness.
so it is more like 1.5 point lead or less.
hum...i guess that is good enough lead considering only few endgame left.

Here's my game against shapenaji plus comments.

Thanks for the review Uberdude, to say I overplayed a lot is an understatement

Still haven't really gotten the hang of correspondence go, I don't think I spend enough time per move (in fact I think I play faster than I do in person).

Good Game!

Thanks for the comments too!

not for the players

they played many moves since then... i will bet my money on breakfast now.
black area in the middle is in funny shape now.. i think h5 was a mistake and should have defended middle group's bad aji.
then it would have been very close game. now black can not win this game IMO.

I won!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right, it ended up as 1.5

Yes, after he started all that funny business inside my territory I regretted h5 and thought I should have j11 instead to make a spare eye on the outside to eliminate all that semedori headache of the game. But it is gote for him to set up the semedori so then I would get other big yose and I just managed to hang on to my lead.
