Championship 46

I really liked Game 2124677 Lazy vs. Jose.  I loved Lazy's move 13. i8 which I would never have considered because it looks like an immediate loss but in fact secures the win!

Lazy, amazing that you then played the simple losing 39. a7 rather than the simple winning b6 ???

Bill, b6 loses to d4...

Regarding that game, I've copied leela up to: https://littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=2124677&nmove=10

Then I played the truly lazy 11 k4, I didn't see its refutation and I believed Grau wouldn't be able to refute it, but he did.

i8 is part of the same bad idea of k4, the idea was to fix bottom and top at the cost of giving him a free move... the problem is the white sequence e11-g10-h9.

Lazy, Ah, I see... Thanks for your insights on this game :)

And congrats to Jose for your excellent play as well :)

Bill, 38. c5 is basically Tom's move, there's no winning reply for Black.

Thanks HH ,

that's quite a resource by Mathew Seymour, does he play here?

Interesting game 2124738 Frode vs H1.  Frode if you play 45.D12 rather than L8, it seems to win shortly.
