7x7 best play

Post by Gérard TAILLE »

I took a look at the 7x7 go board and the link https://senseis.xmp.net/?7x7BestPlay
I undestood that the ideal komi is 9.

After the sequence

I do not see how black can reach the score +9

I tried

Maybe there is a better way for black to play in the beginning, if the komi is 9.

I understood that in area scoring the perfect komi is 9 points and in territory scoring it is 8 points.

With this in mind do you know if the following sequence is correct for both black and white?

According to Crazy Stone, White 6 is a mistake in your first diagram (should be at 7), and Black 7 is indeed a winning move in the second diagram.

Rémi, what rules did you use to generate these openings? It seems you use area scoring because I see some mistakes for territory scoring.
If it is the case do you have an opening book with territory scoring?

This book uses Chinese rules. I don't have a Japanese book. I am too busy to generate one at the moment, but I'll post it here if I make one later.

I understand Remy.

BTW this 7x7 problem shows that japonese rules implies more accuracy than chinese rule because the score under chinese rule goes by two points (typically 1, 3, 5 ... points if no seki) but in japonese rule it goes by one point.

If my analyse is correct "a" and "b" allows to end the game with 9 points score in area scoring but only "a" allows to get 8 points in territory scoring.
