Life In 19x19

some more of heart, just the first 10 minutes of history, no go yet

Another 10 mins of Chen Zude. It takes some time to research Japanese names.



Note that I have completed heart2 (posted with heart 1) above.

(edit 20220920 a little more)

20220928：perhaps my favourite, talking much of the relevance to popularising Go in South America, and the stories about the greats who played the atomic bomb game.

Chinese Go association seem to have published a Chinese-English dictionary of Go terminology 围棋术语字典 recently, said to be 7 years in the making and an important beginning.

20210203: I anticipate I won't spend more time on this for a few years

20220920: well, perhaps I felt a bit unproductive, and thought this was worth something if I was blocked in other areas.

Reading over the commentary with AI analysis is fascinating. At one point the commentary remarks that both players missed that white could play an atari and "pinch" move, but in the resulting analysis there seem to be multiple ways black might be able to refute the lines given (although white may be able to salvage things nonetheless using different moves than the commentary). Still, I wonder if perhaps white actually saw and read out these variations rather than overlooking it, but saw one or more of these refutations and became skeptical enough that it would work to instead go with the more instinctual move in the actual game. I imagine that it's not uncommon for the players playing a game to sometimes see and read a situation more deeply than anyone else.

Thank you so much dhu163, I wish we could access to that kind of stuff more.
