Complex games.
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2010 3:49 pm
Decided to start a thread for people to post abnormally complicated games of pros or top (>7D) amateurs. Feel free to comment on them if you'd like, and show me some of your favorites. I'll start it off with these two from late 2009:
This one starts off so peacefully with competing moyos, but the right side becomes chaotic after Kong Jie invades quite deeply. I was shocked the first time I saw this game. I never imagined that a pro would risk invading so deeply, especially considering that it took a considerable number of moves before his invasion was much more than a dumpling.
I recall somewhere on these forums reading a post by John Fairbairn in which he commented how Qiu Jun seemed to get into "more than his fair share of complicate games". This indeed seems to be true, and this game is quite an example.
