Camp League - Game 2

My second game was against a 1 Kyu orginally from Germany. I got a large lead in the beginning but lost all of it and the game afterwards. I include some short comments by Li Ting, 1p in the game.

Camp league - Game 1

The first thing we do every day is playing a league game. The league consists of 32 players from 25 Kyu to 7 Dan. At the end of the camp the winner of the league will be allowed to playing a teaching game with a 9 Dan professional. To keep it interesting all games are played with normal handicap.
My first opponent was a 1-Dan from USA. He was promoted by one rank like myself. Therefore I got black and we played without komi. See the game below!
According to Maeda-sensei the game was more or less ok for both until move 52. There we both played wrong. However the large mistake of my opponent was try to run away with his group after the KO with move 80 and so on. At the end I was sufficiently ahead despite many additional mistakes on both sides. PS: One serious game per day is quite optimal for me. I'm always much less motivated to do deep thinking for the 2nd or even 3rd tournament game in a row.

51st Judan - Deciding game

Since there will not be to much posts this week here is a small amusement for everybody dropping by. It is the final game of the 51st Judan tournament, held in Osaka. Yuki Satoshi, one of the Go camp lecturers, manged to defeat Iyama Yuta with 1.5 points. I'm sure he will be surprised if everybody knows the decisive game by heart.
Enjoy the game!

PS: By the way, I managed to include a game viewer in the blog!
