A victory by half point.

Post by tekesta »

Just now I played against Kugutsu, Go-playing program rated 11k on OGS. This time I won by half point. I probably would've won by more than half point had I not tried to kill a group at the top of the board. Below is the game. Much obliged in advance for your kind comments.

Hi tekesta. I took a look at your game up through move 81. You played a strong opening compared to the computer. I agree, you should have won this game by more than half a point.

Here are some comments:
