Kacey

I guess I'll keep fighting this bot at 7 handi. I enjoy playing bots because you can consult josekipedia, resign early, and so on without it being rude. They punish mistakes very quickly which I imagine trains my instincts better than playing only other SDKs.

(I know a 0.5pt loss against a bot may be a much larger loss than it seems, but I did win a 7 handi with arbitrary stone placement, now working on the traditional "H" layout. Tengen is hard to use!) #baduk #3kyu

Won with 6 now!

I guess either this bot is weak against high handicaps, or else the random bad moves it makes are bad enough to give me a chance from time to time. Maybe I should be practicing against a stronger 9d bot :)

It is interesting that these wins have relatively large walled-off sections, my games against humans never look like this. I am not sure if my human games *should* look more like this, or this just happens to be a good handicap strat vs this bot.
