Help Needed Scoring This Game

Post by jeffb99 »

Hi all. I could use some scoring help here. I played against the KGS bot in a 13x13 game. Pls FF to the last move. I am black. I thought my territory (not including captures and komi) was about equal to White. But when I hit "pass", the KGS bot gave ALL areas to White (like 0-198)...which didn't make sense to me. The way I see it, I have most of the right side and middle left, include one dead white stone on the 2nd line. White has 3 corners and my 8 dead stones in the lower middle.

Can someone score this for me or tell my why I lost all areas?? (Komi is 6.5) :scratch:

And a playing question...In trying to create eyes on the right, are the stones on the 1st line wasted moves? I already had a nice framework on the 3rd line but I was afraid the bot would "jump in" and take all of my stones in the upper right area. Did I need to make those 1st line moves to create eyes?

Thanks in advance for the help!!!
