Go, the rematch: LuckayLuck vs Neil S
 

Go, the rematch! In our first game, LuckayLuck lost by ~30 points.

Will LuckayLuck overcome in this game?!

LuckayLuck (Black)
Neil S (White)

Handicap: LuckayLuck's handicap is getting +6.5 points at the end. (Normally, playing first, black should get -6.5 points). This is less than a 2-stone handicap. (at the end of the game, this will show as Neil S getting -6.5 points, which is the same thing)

In addition, Neil S will take on the challenge of "playing fast" - he's going to be playing without doing the variations and stuff on the board. Of course, his brain will look at my boards and think things through a bit. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]



So let the games begin!

Don't expect any analysis. I'm just going to play very fast.

Not playing Q3. Recipe for disaster last time.

Luckay plays the more passive K16 this time rather than confrontong Neil this time around.

moves 5 and 11 are a little odd, and i'm not sure i would play 7, i think i would pincer

P3 is quite exciting.

Clash of ideals!

Neil S goes for the secure corner territory and threatens to slide up the side.

LuckayLuck ignores it and continues grabbing the bottom side.

Who is right, and who is dead? Who knows?

Here goes nothing.

Re: Go, the rematch: LuckayLuck vs Neil S
 

Wow, that was a very interesting move. Neil is trying:

1. To grab the corner.
2. To connect to his C14 stone (via B15)
3. To grab the northern edge of the board.

25. C16

I'm eliminating possibility #2 for now from his available strategies. Now let's see what he does with that...
