hi to all,
this game I recently played and I was white, was weird.
why look at the 49th move that balck did. he could kill my group. why did he play like that?
My guess would be that move 49 was some sort of misclick.
no he spent 5 minutes for that,
it canāt be a misclick
Misread then.
Why not? It even happened to the world champion 3 years ago. When he adjusted his mouse location, the mouse cable accidentally touched the touchpad on his laptop.
His opponentās reaction:
We can all speculate until we are blue in the face, but only your opponent in this game knows why. So ask your opponent?
I thought maybe the left group of mine were uncapturable.
On move 49, black should have just captured at A4, which also kills whiteās C4 stones.
Black should have played A4 and then your group B5 is dead.
When I see my opponent make a move like this in my games, i normally offer to let them undo, because I assume itās a misclick. Sometimes itās not, and I just donāt understand the move!
This isnāt a requirement; you never have to offer undo, I just personally like to because if I win I donāt like having the thought āI only won because they misclack (new past-tense of āmisclickā iāve decided to coin right now)ā and thatās not a good feeling for me.
Iāve miscluck (past-perfect tense of āmisclickā iām also coining right now) after longer intervals of time. If you spend 5 minutes reading, that in no way improves the accuracy of your clicking ability. Thinking and mouse technique arenāt necessarily directly related.
Also if you donāt know who your opponent is, you canāt even know that they were reading the whole time. They may have walked away to do something, or gotten distracted.
Thatās a great attitude. Many donāt ever expect to become a misclicois, but we must ultimately accept that we all are.
It can be a move of disappointment be done conscientiously or not, against you or himself. Or even some kind of resignation in front of complexity. Although itās not that deep reading involved, perfectly suited to the level of both players.
Note that J7 was useless (overcautious) and may be a first step in confusion. Let say he noticed that it was useless so next situation he would be inclined to avoid to play again a useless move. He checks your move, say itās useless and decide to play a no value move himself. But it was useless only if he answered.
I see you timed out immediately after that move. Had you run out of time anyway, or did that move confuse you so much?
Edit: Sorry, I mixed up the coloursš
Their opponent timed out. OP won.
opponent misclack
with kindness I grant undo
they may taste attack
Sorry for random haiku, I just thought misclack was too good not to use.
yes I agree,
but I waited him to request for undo,
and he didnāt.
thatās why I still donāt think it was a mislick.
yeah agree
