The SGF file is not on the server, so there is no link I can publish, sorry Adrian.

The SGF file is embedded in the HTML directly, one can extract it from there manually.

I`m glad that you are writing on this blog again, thank you!
After you did not wrote something for a long time, i thought you never would again…

I like it verry much that you make comments on the games instead of just presenting the game records … please go on with that , i (and i think a lot of other GO fans) would appreciate that very much. Greetings from germany, amon

If you hadn’t shown the variation after move 40, I’d shout “misclick” at the monitor or blame the scribe. A clear typo, or 30k move.

Thanks for sharing

Comment on Huge Go Board in Ancient Fenghuang City by Hendon Harris

Hendon Harris — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 00:36:59 +0000

Thank you for this excellent and interesting posting. This board may be
the world’s largest “operating” go board but it may not be the largest. I
believe that title belongs to the John Fairbairn Ancient Go Board in Alberta Canada just south of Burnstick Lake. That ancient board which
is 17 lines by 17 lines covers an area of 2 miles by 2miles. Thats 2560
acres! The board has 256 squares of 10 acres each. The grid is colored
in alternating and contrasting light and dark green squares. There is no possible argument to suggest that this is a natural formation. Joseph Needham the highly respected Sinologist has written extensively regarding the ancient Chinese use of the quantitative rectangular grid
system, chess board patterns and the use of these patterns in divination
(fortune telling) and land measuring. What is this doing in North America? For the answer to that question you can google “hendon’s
geoglyphs” or go to my blog chinesediscoveramerica.com .

To me it looks like the constellation Big dipper/Great bear. Thou I don’t know if they know it in China and what would be it’s meaning anyway.

Im surprised the game ended in a huge liberty fight. I thought that pros usually read it out. I also dont understand why in the game black did not cut with move 117. Was black afraid of the ko?
