I suggest we continue the game with sgf, it's a lot easier.

Re: Go Back - Game 2
There is a Many Universes theory in physics saying that at every instant every universe splits into every possible future. All these universe then lives next to each other. Well I am not going to be stubborn and split the game into two parallel ones. Ed's reasons now make me feel at ease with R13.

OK, though I am not a big fan of your preferred method.nagano wrote:I suggest we continue the game with sgf, it's a lot easier.
To speed up I added the 3 "obvious" next moves. I am not sure playing sequences is acceptable in Goback. So if you dislike pls go back.
As a child I always played chess against myself. Mostly I won.

Re: Go Back - Game 2
I agree with that sequence, but will leave it for others to object if so desired. Certainly other moves can be considered.

Re: Go Back - Game 2
@topazg Interesting move, certainly worth considering. How would you respond after the diagonal contact?

Re: Go Back - Game 2
it is already super hard to know what is the actual position... 
Topazg you are proposing an alternative to the game, but not an actual "go back" is that correct ?

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Re: Go Back - Game 2
These were the moves I'd been considering:
The second one is kinda awkward though.
@perceval: I guess one of the GoBack's got rejected on the basis of this general sequence being unacceptable - so this _might_ trigger a correction, even though that hadn't really been my intent when I posted.

Re: Go Back - Game 2
I mostly agree with that sequence, but as white in both cases I would double hane, and in the first diagram I would play black 33 a point closer to the weaker group. I think white solidifies too much territory then.

Re: Go Back - Game 2
Hmmm, double hane does look better in the first one. However, I would still rather take Black here:nagano wrote:I mostly agree with that sequence, but as white in both cases I would double hane, and in the first diagram I would play black 33 a point closer to the weaker group.

In the second one, there's no double hane:
If White's going to have a wall like that, neutralising it with a living group and hopefully some central influence feels fine - Black's position in the top right is very good, the lower left looks fine, and White's lost the majority of his development potential - he's got cash, but it doesn't have huge prospects for becoming a lot more cash - am I mis-evaluating here?

Re: Go Back - Game 2
I'm sorry, I should have clarified, and I looked too quickly at your second diagram, assuming it was starting with the same move. What I meant was:
For that matter, I don't think the attachment works at all: I think this is too hard to deal with.

Ah, yes, no problem, I don't Black can extend in this direction at all.nagano wrote:I'm sorry, I should have clarified, and I looked too quickly at your second diagram, assuming it was starting with the same move. What I meant was:

Re: Go Back - Game 2
Time to decide. Do we proceed from here or is there someone (Topasz?) going back?perceval wrote:it is already super hard to know what is the actual position...

Re: Go Back - Game 2
I believe the other path was intended to be a side note.

Re: Go Back - Game 2 move 17
Otherwise white will play there and have a favourable exchange.
