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

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
dude is scary…

The answer is...
Title match for: Honinbo Main Title Tournament 2015, Board 3
Vitality 9d vs Sadaharu 9d
Thanks for playing, all
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…
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
I have no idea how to even properly judge a 25x25 game, but let’s go with 5k.
