I have a question concerning a related question, mirror go. On an even
board the second player can presumably just mirror the opponent and never
lose but I am not sure I buy that. I am a very weak player myself but is
it true that cannot force your opponent into a bad move if he mirrors you?
And if mirror go is a valid way to stay even couldn't a pro just
sacrifice something in the center to break the symmetry?
