(Idle kibitzing, no real go programming content...) Yeah, I'm only KGS 1k so I'm not sure either, but I kind of agree. I think that at this point killing the stones would have been smaller than Aya's move 28, but maybe locally someplace else, like the spot immediately down and right of the chosen move would have been even better -- or not. I'm positive 28 is either a bad half-measure all around (to quote Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go) or a good multi-purpose move, I just don't understand the tactics well enough to confidently say which one it is. Much easier to say the opening was unusual but decent for kyu level and to point to the obvious tactical mistakes that came later, like the broken ladder or the "Oh" move where Aya connected two stones to the killable top group instead of saving the group (both sides could be criticized there, one for bothering to attack two unimportant stones and the other for bothering to defend them, when the life of the whole group was unsettled -- presumably this is the old seki-reading problem that many programs have). _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
