Far from it. That looks like Greetgo, a player that opens saying “Hi” or “Hello” and still maintains a 2dan rank.

Are you evoking that handicap variant, where the weak takes white, and lose if the strong lives?
(Would fit better with attorante position)

No, just a person who uses the opening to spell “Hi” and then proceeds to murder you.

Edit: see game against Gooplet as an example.

Ok. I think that board is quite similar to a 9 stones handicap with inversed colors.

Checking with KataGo, that “HI” opening loses about 50-60 points, which is closer to the point value of 4-5 handicap. The point value of 9 handicap is about twice as big according to KataGo.

Yep, I would say that having that big clump of stones in the middle isn’t very efficient, but it isn’t negligible either! :slight_smile:
