Fractional Team Go, Game 1

yebellz · October 3, 2021, 12:00pm

So, my thought is to simply connect at G1. Any other suggestions?

Vsotvep · October 3, 2021, 3:08pm

I believe that is the only thing we could try, yes.

yebellz · October 5, 2021, 2:52pm

Sorry, I just realized that I forgot to actually make the move

Position after G1:

Next move will be black/blue.

@Here_We_Go reminder that it’s your turn. What move do you want to play?

Here_We_Go · October 13, 2021, 7:32am

Sorry about the delay, D5 please.

No worries, I just bump this thread after a week of downtime
Here is the updated board position, next to move will be @Vsotvep :

$fractional_game1_48$

Vsotvep · October 13, 2021, 10:11am

I’ll play A7:

martin3141 · October 13, 2021, 10:19am

I think we need to approach from the left side with A5 and A3, so I capture with A8 to enable that:

$fractional_game1_49$

Y’all seem to know exactly what you’re doing? I’m thinking that E1 is my only move, unless you see something better, @Vsotvep?

Groin · October 13, 2021, 11:05am

We know, that’s obvious. When will you start a six colors game?

yebellz · October 13, 2021, 11:07am

Depends on how many are interested in playing in the next. I guess you are signing up?

Groin · October 13, 2021, 11:49am

I don’t play go variant but i like to watch them.

martin3141 · October 13, 2021, 7:04pm

I would love to see / participate in a game with many players, perhaps with simultaneous moves to avoid long waiting time between moves. We could even play with “fractional” collision handling: When two or more players collide, a stone is placed with all colors combined

yebellz · October 15, 2021, 9:21pm

Ok, I’ll play at E1

martin3141 · October 17, 2021, 7:35pm

I just realised that I won’t be able to play A3 in the crucial moment Well maneuvered team white.

Here_We_Go · October 22, 2021, 6:19am

Oh well, might as well play B6 and keep the pressure on.

martin3141 · October 22, 2021, 6:29am

Ok, here is the new position:

$fractional_game1_50$

@Here_We_Go for the future I’m thinking we should avoid playing moves at points that we completely surrounded, because these are basically shared eyes.

Vsotvep · October 22, 2021, 1:57pm

I will play D9, I don’t believe I can currently assist in a helpful way at the capturing race, since each move I’d make would also be a form of suicide. But I can make the situation more complicated by involving the top group.

I’m following this game with interest, but now I’m confused. My reading doesn’t match what three out of the four players recently did. I’m looking forward to the game review .
