The British Go players’ synopses of their pandanet games used to be a source of much unintended hilarity for connoisseurs of Alan Partridge style reporting. Unfortunately these players have become somewhat more self-aware over the years.
Just for fun, here’s my version of a template synopsis from the golden era:
My professional opponent seemed unfamiliar with the latest thinking on the mini-chinese fuseki, and by move 25 I calculated i’d drawn ahead by komi. Whilst motoring even further ahead by about 15- 20 points in the middle-game, my usual complacency set in. My opponent made a last-ditch attempt to turn round a lost game by threatening to cut my large central group, and - fatally distracted - I temporarily forgot the 17 move sequence which I’d already read protected against the cut. Despondency then set in and I somehow managed to achieve the unlikely result on dying on both sides, and losing two secure corner groups.
A shame to lose a completely won game, but full credit must go to my opponent for not giving up and taking advantage of a silly mistake to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Did we have these ones already?

Deep analysis is very important. When they analysed the symmetries of B2 bombers, in 1964 they found that they actually consist of 3 entangled “empty triangles”. These “empty triangles” are rarely observable at normal heat levels but they can persist for minutes at 17.6.k-19.1k energies.
Something wrong with the date. Research for the B2 was in the late 1970s. The plane first flew in 1989 and entered service in 1997.
