For what it's worth, KataGo on my computer puts the game close to even at this peep:

At the time of resignation, it does put black behind by quite a bit. But given the swing that just happened, it's hard to say that a swing like that couldn't happen, again.

Anyway, good game!

@Kirby What does Kata think about 52? It is an interesting move that I don't know how to evaluate, but I probably wouldn't play it...

Katago thinks that

loses about 2 points, and prefers

at G17.

I had a lot of fun with this game. The problem was I completely misread the move I played. And I had a feeling I had misplayed prior. It's tough because overall I don't think I played terribly in this game per se but at my level of course that's probably outrageous to say.

Does this mean that my game vs drmwc is the last Malkovich game?

I think I'm also still playing paK0. Last move was almost 2 years ago.

I think you lack confidence. You saw that you made bad moves, but weren't aware that I made almost as many bad moves as you. Go is a long game, I've already won games in which I was behind by 30 points at move 150 and vice-versa.

I think it's fair to say I lack confidence. I haven't played too many games since I came back. Especially not against people. I never got fully comfortable with losing which is probably a trait that holds me back significantly. It's not something I easily confess either. I remember when I was stuck at 7k for the longest time. One of the most frustrating periods of my Go playing life. I think my last roadblock was 10k. But once I became 6k I dropped down to 5k pretty quick. Probably not playing at a 5k level now but I crush 8k bots which is sort of surprising to me.
