Teaching game at the chess club.

I went to the chess club today, hoping that I might possibly be able to perhaps play a game, or even get some new people interested in go too. I was delighted to find out that the kid I had played against last week was totally in for a new game. This time he wanted to play on the 13x13 board. At first we took a quick match of atari-go and he owned me in just a few moves. I thought it would be a good time to start playing for real, so I told him to place the handicap, so he did, all five of them. And the game took off... In the end I kind of messed up the score because there was some distraction, so after I got home, ate dinner and had a beer I decided to recreate the game as an SGF and get it scored right. And here it is:

Argh. I can't seem to get Eidogo to show the variations. Something wrong with the SGF perhaps. Anyone know what could be the problem here? I posted the SGF on pastebin if someone is able and wants to make corrections. It'd be nice if it worked though. I'm a bit too tired to work on it now because it's already way over midnight here. But hey, I hope you like the game!

There was this one thing on my mind... Oh yes. I was checking out twitter and my new followers, and I discovered one of them, RazorBrain, has his own blog: RazorBrain's Go Journal. Looks nice, and has a lot of neat problems for all the beginners out there, with explanatory videos to accompany them. Check the site out!

But, habitually yours is going to take a short nap before taking his son to the daycare. (Damn, is it 1am again???) Ohh... btw. I was told I should be eating 10k's for breakfast, or something like that. I'll see how that goes, after all, I'm only 12k because of rank drift. Of course, if a 4dan tells you something like that there must be some truth to it. Maybe I'm not bad after all. ^^ See you soon, and have great games (gg) while waiting for the next update. Hopefully I can play soon too! Good night!

Update: The problem corrected itself over-night.

  1. Oh, the variations work now. I must have done something right before going to bed last night. ^^
