Fitting y = a * (1 - d^( b * ( x - c ))) gives the result like this (x axis is days). Don’t pay any attention to the bottom-left corner. Problem with fitting like this is that small changes in the curve can significantly shift the intersection with 1038 line.
Here goes. As expected, my last opponent just timed out, it was his last game and he was already disqualified. It’s quite a sad way of achieving this first round, even with 8 winning games, including 3 by timeout.
Now there are only 4 running games left in my group, all involving the same player already disqualified by timeout in other games.
Now I have to keep my fingers crossed and try to stay fit until the second round, whenever that is.

Well, I guess if they agreed on the final score, it is what it is. the scoring phase is also part of the game. Or is there any rule that some higher power can overrule the players after they agreed?
I don’t want to change the outcome of the game.
White was ahead and threw the game because of a mistake. Black did the same with a different kind of mistake in scoring phase.
It’s a pity, but it’s a lesson too. Something every go player must learn one way or another.
White had a very easy opening. Black extended inefficiently in top-left, let white live easy in top-right. But white completely messed up bottom-right. And while AI says it was still ok, black just snaked everywhere, white couldn’t do anything about it.
