Depiction of me and maggrig playing


I've been playing more Baduk than BW in the last month, and after my 68th Honinbo blog (damn you new generation!!) I've met our TL fella maggrig for a game on KGS! I've never played a game with such a slow time settings, but it sure feels good to be able to have time to think.

The software that generate the diagrams does not show captured stones in the board, so if a sequence is skipping a number or two, that's because that particular stone was captured.

Also, bear in mind that I'm 1d, which means I'm weak. This "battle report" is bound to have mistakes that a higher ranked player will find easy to spot. You are welcome to criticize!

White: Fabiano [1d]
Black: maggrig [3k]
Komi: 6.5
Time Settings: Canadian, 00:30:00 Main Time + 00:40:00 (20)
Kifu: download (.sgf)

Dia. 1
[image loading]

I play with the white stones, and my opponent maggrig plays with the black stones. The moves 1 to 8 are normal.

Dia. 2
[image loading]

This is the sequence I had in mind. After the moves from 1 to 13, white gets a wall in the top and sente. The idea was to attack the marked black stone with a pincer, using the white's wall influence.

Dia. 3
[image loading]

However maggrig played black 1, thus avoiding following white's plans. White 2 is an overplay.

Dia. 4
[image loading]

1 to 5 is joseki. White settles in the corner with 8 points and black stablishes his top and left groups. I chose to not play like this because I wanted sente to protect the top right corner.

Dia. 5
[image loading]

This is the real game. Black strongly punished the overplay at 2 in Dia. 3. In this diagram, black has settled a 6 point group in the corner and split white into 2 pointless groups. Black 11 was beautiful.

Dia. 6
[image loading]

Black 1 was a mistake. The sequence from 1 to 14 was too soft on white. It allowed white to play 14, which helps the group at the top and puts some pressure in the marked black stone.

Dia. 7
[image loading]

This diagram is better for black than the Dia. 6. Notice how black starts developing territory on the left side and strengthens his position at the top.

Dia. 8
[image loading]

Due to black's mistake in Dia. 6, white was able to recover in the game. White was able to settle his top group, secure his left dragon and created a target by separating the black groups with 28.

Dia. 9
[image loading]

Black 7 is huge. At this point, black is clearly in the lead. White 8 is questionable, as me and maggrig quickly reviewed the game, it seems like a better move would be at the triangle mark, which works better with the wall in the center.

Dia. 10
[image loading]

Black 1 was expected. However white handled the situation very badly. From 1 to 10 black got a 10 point group in the corner in sente, which allowed him to play the reducing move at 11. Black is so far ahead now.

Dia. 11
[image loading]

Black has been comfortably leading the game up to this point. White 65 was my last chance at winning this match. The marked stones are very fragile at the moment, and black can't afford to lose them all.

Dia. 12
[image loading]

White 22 puts black in a very complicated situation now. The black group is short on eye space, if black dies, white wins.

Dia. 13
[image loading]

Black resigns.

I was very lucky. Maggrig played better than me the whole time, I should've lost the game.

Sorry if I didn't cover many variations of the game, it really takes time to this thing, just like Starcraft battle reports.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the BR. Baduk is one of the subjects I have cursory interest in. Unfortunately, couldn't enjoy it fully since typical game charts with many moves bunched in makes my head spin

it was a nice game, I should have count and secure my middle group instead of reducing the bottom territory ^^, btw in dia 4, the move number 2 is not the joseki I learnt, it should be one time up and one time left ^^

I wish I didn't suck at go. I played chess a lot as a child and I love that game, but sadly I stopped when my little sis was born because I couldn't go to tournaments anymore, I wish I learned how to play go since it seems like a lot of fun to me since I enjoyed chess as a board game. A game of infinite possibilities only influenced by strategy.

Damn, this takes me back. I used to play this in primary school for fun, and watched baduk tv on cable at my grandma's place when I visited her. This was like in '97 or something. I never really learned to play properly though.

I feel like black 64 in dia. 11 the game loser for black
Really, why is real cheese so hard to come by in Korea? ^&^
