Hi there!
I just played a game against doge_bot_3 and won. I’m very happy: it’s my first win against it.
I was white.
Looking at katago analysis, there’s a move overlooked by both me and doggy.
It’s S15.
Katago wants it by both black and white since move 22.
Neither of us played it until move 142.
I don’t really get why it’s so important.
Black could gain few points and put some pressure on white’s group, in sente. Not bad. But quite small anyway.
For white, that settles the group in gote, when there’s still plenty of room to escape to the center.
So is it really that urgent or big?
Bonus feature: I played a move with a POSITIVE winrate! +4.6!!! And it wasn’t the biggest one! There was a +5 on the board!
Quite weird, isn’t it?
Any other advice is welcome, but my main question is about S15.
