Captain's story
All
of us face from time to time an opponent who continues playing until the very
end even after we kill one of his big groups and there is no hope for him to
win. And the "best" part is that they always resign at the last move,
without accepting the result!
The
game above is a typical example of that. You can see that after B127 (H5)
White's group is captured and there is no hope for him to win anymore, but Izi 6d (White) decided to keep playing. In the end, Black was leading by over 50
points when White finally resigned... at move 323!
Of
course that does not happen only on KGS. Here is Captain's funny story :)
TheCaptain [4d]: I remember a
tournament game once where Sunghwa Hong, Author of First Kyu was playing
TheCaptain [4d]: he was about fifty
points ahead and his opponent kept using all his time on 1 pt moves
TheCaptain [4d]: they played right to
the bitter end and then his opponent reached for the stones to put them in the
middle and resign
TheCaptain [4d]: Sungwha grabbed his
hand and said, No, you don't resign after wasting an hour of my time..
TheCaptain [4d]: You count!!
