Life In 19x19

The game below was played on KGS. My first game in awhile there. My opponent was a japanese player named verze. KGS ranking graph showed that he had been hanging around between 6d and 7d between october 2015 and april 2016 where it suddenly cuts off. I checked some of his older games in the KGS archives. He beat a 2d on 3 stones by 0.5 moku for example. I was surprised that I beat him, but I got off to a good start with my favorite fuseki as black.

Afterwards, I ran the game through CSDL's analysis feature for 8 hours while I slept. I added some comments based on that analysis. I've also attached the analysis PDF for u to have a look at.

I thought it might be of interest to you. I'd also appreciate anything you can add.

Crazy Stone's suggestion for White 170 did not surprise me. Humans may regard the White group as alive, but it will die in a certain percentage ("probability") of random playouts.

I guess that makes sense. Still a bit odd though.
