JTS is fine by me too.

I like how I was reminded about this game's existence when I saw shapenaji on a server for a different game that both of us probably had no idea the other played.

I'll bet we both first pick Fangren Marauders too.

First, I think that our ignoring their ko threats on the top will get more and more costly, while their ignoring our ko threats on the bottom will get less and less costly. In which case we should ignore now. Second, if there is a response to this threat that minimizes the risk to us on top and/or eliminates future ko threats, I have no idea what it is. Better to play this and let Daniel/Violence change it to the right response, than to respond to the threat and require one of two possible changes (a different response, or ignoring the ko).

I think the follow-up is m18, m15, o16, l18. Or maybe instead of l18: j19, g19, k18, or else a ko for e18. In any event, with luck if we die, we die in ko, in which case we'll get the same ko threat anyway.

Para-dropping into this game late, I should probably count, but it's so... unsettled.

No - I wasn't sure whether captured stones go under B or W.

Like I said, if we are sure about the prisoners passed back and forth, we can ignore the actual captures and just count chinese.

LOL, I always separate GO and MTG communities in my mind ... I don't know why ... there's a number of people who play both.

Accepted.

I would like to respond to the threat, but the fact of the matter is that we have no 50 point ko threats. I'm not sure what jts thinks is a ko threat for us? I think there's enough space on top for both of us to live.

Ah, ok. So B has 11 captures and 60 prisoners (if my move is accepted), and W has 1 capture and 64 prisoners. Shall we accept shapenaji's suggestion, and only track prisoners from here on out?

I don't really care either way, worst case scenario, we count Chinese and backtrack all of the changes the upper level players have made.

Also, I've never seen a sledge go later than second pick. I've never had the luxury of multiple sledges. You sack.

But multiple Fangrens? That's like every other draft for me.

I should really make an off topic thread for this.

Also, approved.

Time to live, I suppose. So, it looks like we can threaten this group a little, and then we need to make some points on bottom with our thickness. Or perhaps we can start a fight in the middle, or something. Regardless, living is first.


Sorry, I'd missed Violence's approval

I think this is by far the best move. If W doesn't play O16, we can connect and then (I think) he has to live in gote. If W responds, we get L18.

I haven't read out exactly how we're going to live. Our potential eyespace is small, and W has four different moves to reduce it. I'm pretty sure, though, that we can protect our eyespace as it stands with moves that threaten to kill W.
