Award! (and link to full games)

 Through a combination of playing well (sometimes haha) and being fortuante that my opponents made mistakes in key moments I was able to go 6-0 and win the 1 dan division! Super crazy! Also, a pretty good cakey slice at the closing dinner.  Link to games if you want to see them all: Round 1: Round 2: Round 3: Round 4: Round 5: Round 6:

Rest day at go congress and game 4!

Wednesday was the rest day here at go congress! There were no go events planned and people were taking the day to visit Boston and recuperate. I went into Boston to visit the science museum and a friend who lives there! 

A wall of mirrors at the science museum!
Some delicious pizza lunch!
A Go Stone-inspired fountain! (surely)
Brattle Book shop, a cool used book store!
 

The round 4 game this morning was another back and forth rollercoaster ride. I was playing as black and had a good start but then make some mistakes while trying to invade whites areas. The endgame was actually pretty calm, I realized when we went into endgame that I was leading by about 6 and we just carried the game to the end. It was only afterwards that the computer pointed out a tricky sequence that neither of us saw! You can see it swinging the game wildly back and forth as both of us fail to play the key move haha.


 This was the final board position, black winning by 7.5 points!
Going to some lectures this afternoon and possibly a pho restaurant tonight, exciting!
