'twoeye' 7d beats 'smartrobot' 9d for the third time in a row! (on 2 stones handicap)
It is quite hard to give
handicap to KGS 7-dans and win, even for professionals. 'smartrobot' has
actually won a few handicap games against 'twoeye', but recently it seems that
two stones are too much for him. In their last three games, 'twoeye' was always
able to win without much trouble. But how hard is it to beat him in a handicap
game?
'twoeye' almost only plays even games, but when he receives handicap his
winning statistics are not very good: this is actually the first handicap game
he won in a while. Even last month, 'jove', 'MilanMilan' and 'lsai' have all
beaten him with two handicap stones. It is true that they are all pros, but
even 'bojim', an amateur from France, gave him 2 handicap stones and won by
over 20 points (was it luck?).
The game that you can see here is fun to watch (please note Black 54 - P12
- does that remind you of anything? (-:). It was a fighting game and White
played well, but in the end his moyo in the center became too small, so
'smartrobot' eventually resigned (in the end he was behind by 10 points or so). Enjoy!
