Guess rank game

i knew something was fishy, with all the ko being played and whatnot, but didnt think to guess a bot was in play :sweat_smile:.

Alright.


Japanese Byo-Yomi: Clock starts with 20 minutes main time, followed by 5 30 seconds periods.
Game lasted 30+ minutes but it’s unclear whether players thought about anything.

I think this counts as a hint that I would have preferred not to read…

Random guess, 22k.

move 6 seems questionable
move 15, 17 clearly shows sign of kyu plays
lower right corner clearly shows signs of poor plays
i believe move 34 can be played at r6
move 40 i believe kick seems better than in game
move 93 doesn’t know how to sacrifice 2 stones by playing at p6 instead
i guess around 8-10k plays
so final answer 8k

12kyu

13k

To be fair, you can tell the players don’t really know what they’re doing at move 6, so…

19k

Once again, @S_Alexander wins by sending me a DIRECT LINK to the game (that’s 2 for 2 now!). Though, this time it took him 90 minutes not just 8 minutes :stuck_out_tongue:
dude is scary…

(low turnout this round, perhaps due to the holidays)

The answer is...

Title match for: Honinbo Main Title Tournament 2015, Board 3
Vitality 9d vs Sadaharu 9d

Yeah, I look at top correspondence games sometimes. And that game was so high level only few OGS players could’ve played it.

Now, Dec 25, a Christmas guessing game!

(Notice number of moves, that’s a nice touch!)

No main time, 3 30 seconds periods, lasted 41 minutes

I suspect S_Alexander knows a thing or two about SGF…

…and high level games played at OGS… :wink:

No tricks here. Simply went through recent Sadaharu games looking for 0.5 game.

Hmm… Clever… Maybe I should pick a resigned game next time :wink:

I have no idea how to even properly judge a 25x25 game, but let’s go with 5k.
