General Go Discussion Thread
I don't want to hijack the luckay/neil thread, so im going to make a new thread for Go stuff that's for stuff that's a bit less indepth (like a kibitzed forum game)
To those who actually know what they're doing, how did I do against the computer here? |

Re: General Go Discussion Thread
7 to my eye is a bit strange. You seem hesitant to fight, as though you know gnugo will beat you in a fight but will strategically fail to take territory.

Re: General Go Discussion Thread
I have never played 9X9, but that looks reasonable. I wonder how it plays out if you go something like d2 on move 3. It has been a long time since I played go (keep meaning to start again). I would just jump right into 19X19.

The games are confined so immediate life-and-death tactics are inescapable. Now gnugo may not help so much for 2, since it doesn't really press like a human player can, though. |

Re: General Go Discussion Thread
Is it OK just to ignore 4 here? Also when durron ignores it, I would expect white to play either b4 or d4 not b3.

Re: General Go Discussion Thread
Just looking at the image:
5 is pretty bold - it's usual to answer a contact move (such as 4 on 1), but not necessarily bad. In fact 6 by white is pretty soft - at 24 or 22 would put you under more pressure and I agree 7 looks odd - 22 (or perhaps 24) would be more natural. I like the move 9 a lot as it really pins white back. I would just play with 0.5 komi TBH, even if 5.5 is the recommended amount |

Would you recommend playing capture-game to learn?
