Okay, I'll post some photos along the way...

A white group has just died in the bottom right corner. White gets desperate.

White group died, and Markku decided to gamble on the left side, making a huge leap of faith smack in the middle of black's territory...

...and makes a decent profit...

...but ends up again losing some stones on the right...

...and the game looks like it's over...

On to the counting...

Players are doing the counting.

Counting finished: 56 – 55, black wins by 1 point.

It was a tough game, Antti came out victorious this time, and Markku was defeated by only one point!

Congratulations to both players for a game well played!

@gamer00,
I am still trying to understand the game! Definitely not an easy task! But seems interesting! Whatever the outcome, congratz for the both players! I think you also enjoyed by watching it!

Cheers~

The battle of two superheroes on the board was so close.
But there is only one winner and it was Antti!

Very close. Do you guys bet on the games?

Nope... Now that's an aspect that could break friendships, so I'm not really advocating for it.

On the other hand, if there was a go server on the steem blockchain... Anything could be possible, betting on games, getting paid for playing games, voting on games and even individual moves, and storing the games on the blockchain for future generations to study from. I think that'd be quite amazing.

Understand about the friendship thing. The game is serious enough without added pressure. On the other hand it could put someone like Markku off and give you the upper hand.

There is no pressure at all involved. We enjoy the games. It is the thrill of the hunt that keeps our faces expressionless and us looking serious.

You will get my sense of humor. Was pulling gamer's leg. If you can't beat someone because they are good then you need to find a way to put them off. I suggested money as it would put added pressure lol. i could see the seriousness of the game on your faces. Lots of concentration.

Money could throw somebody off. It would depend on what kind of money were on the table, of course.

The Koreans do bang neki. Both players put cash under the board to bet that they will win or possibly that they will win by a certain multiple of ten points.

That is what I suggested to Gamer to beat you. Your mind would change maybe. You start to think off whatever the game is for. We sometimes say we will buy you a drink if you beat me at something. When we play golf the loser buys drinks.

Offering the winners drinks has a tendency to get everybody drunk eventually.

You mean if your pals bet against you in a game it could break friendships? I find that a little far fetched because, in my experience, go players tend not to be very ego-centric. You get immediate and honest feedback in this game. There is little room for delusions of grandeur or false modesty.

Oh, I see the house is still in it's place. Glad nothing got destroyed while they were playing the game!

Haha congrats to both players, and more congrats to the winner

Congratulations to Antti
The game looks difficult. I don't really how to play it though

I am definitely going to look into this game's rules! Only problem is I've no one to play with around me.

You can play with me online lol. But I'm not sure if I have time for Go. It eats infinite amount of time!

Well now that I’ve lost my job I’ve got quite a bit of time on my end.. soo if you wanna learn.. we can learn. 😄

Well now that I’ve lost my job I’ve got quite a bit of time on my end.. soo if you wanna learn.. we can learn. 😄

Wait for real?? But how about my new PC. You know I will be very busy with...
A lot of very "important" stuff soon :D

Men that was close. A game well played... Congratulations to both of them for a terrific game.

Hey Antti, nice gaming man. Kudos to buy players . It was a tight one . Thanks for the update my friend

This looks like it needs a lot of concentration just like chess.

After observing more carefully I finally understood that I don't get anything that's happening on the board heh! :d
My head is spinning after concentrating only on white stones lol.

The game was well fought. Only for one point. Well, congratulations to the Antti friend

Good thing they have had a healthy game between friends, that unites them more, come much more battles, congratulations to both!

That’s great.... many congratulations for the winner.... and I appreciated the both players.... I hope they enjoyed and passed a great evening...

A very close match, congratulations to Antti, humility in victory and honesty in defeat, btw is Tea what Markku and Antti are drinking?, lately I have become addicted to green tea, as a substitute for coffee. but I was thinking about trying the black tea.

btw is Tea what Markku and Antti are drinking?

It's a green tea collection by Lipton.

Well, I like Mccormick and a hint of lemon.

This was the most anticipated result of the day! I was anxiously waiting for this publication and the winner was the person I chose, good game!

Sorry but I find it hard to follow and enjoy with just a few pictures. You should consider uploading video recordings or even better kifu instead.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Yep definitely should do more of that. I did record a couple of games some time ago with my phone. There's been talk about setting up a live feed from our club room using my laptop. Last time I tried it the laptop just stopped working. I wonder if it works now that I upgraded its OS. We might be able to do a live feed one day.

Recording kifus is a possibility, we even tried that once but as the fight got heated we forgot to mark up the moves.

Yeah, staying disciplined to record the kifu is hard, especially if you are playing! I would love a smartphone app to watch the goban and record moves automatically in a .sgf

Interesting and fun game to play, so who was the winner of the game @gamer00

Yes! Way to go Antti. I was betting on you over Markku. See my comment on Jaro's previous post. And you won! Yay!

congratulations both, nice game with having fun

56-55
That is mighty close, would've been an interesting game

For the first time i'm seeing this kind of game, it was look good and thanks for sharing a new game maybe many of them knew about it before but i'm watching them today first . but they are looking like sweet gems !

What is the name of this game?

That was a handicap game: we had no komi.

Almost ...! ... It was a very closed game. They looked very tense. My condolences to friend Markku😦...

Wonderful this funny game, I appreciate your post.

Its seems to be hard one game.
Best wishes for the winners (both).

Congratulations to the two participants, who gave the best of themselves and started thinking about their best strategy, but as each game has to do with a winner and a loser ... congratulations to Antti for being the winner and also congratulations to Markku for the defeat of there is where you learn!

I thought it was you who was playing.

Well played both players. But had only one winner. Congrats to Antti.

Markku was defeated by only one point!

Oh I see Markku played with drinking tea. But Antti didn't drink still playing. Congrats Antti. But Markku also played better. Only 1 score needed to draw contest. You took nice photography in this gaming. Great job @gamer00
