I like how you can watch other players live games on this site and seamlessly switch to review mode.

Did a much better job against this bot now I've got a better concept of joseki and not trying to "win" every fight.

Nice. I see you've met the ladder. I'll start a review when I get home, add some quick notes

Haha maybe they put "holland" on that list because everyone thinks Dutch people get offended by that word when actually nobody cares

Okay I signed up now. I can't play against the same bot (amybot-beginner) because the rank difference is too big. What bot should I play against?

Thank you for the review. I want to check with the ladder, is this a viable option for black or a bad idea?

@Jam It's not super terrible because you are putting a lot of pressure on D16, but your 4 stones to the right are all dead and there's a lot of cuts white can take advantage of on the left, like E14 or F13.
If you want to invade white's corner, you could've done that without playing out the ladder, meaning H15 could've been at C17 already. You're mostly strengthening white by playing out a ladder where he gets away.

Btw I highly recommend messing with these settings

You can even choose any color (board and stones) you want if you pick the top left board and the leftmost stones

Okay don't review that game, it was my first in a while and I'm bad. I'll play more later you can take a look at.

Yeah it's because the game is hard as fuck. But if you keep playing you will see yourself improve quite rapidly.

I just resigned a won game because I was too lazy to count the score, used an app that scans the board and tells you the score, but the app apparently messed up and said B+9.5 when it turns out (through bot analysis) I was ahead
