Now that Batoo has finally failed in Korea, this might be a way to win back the visual calibrated StarCraft generation for Baduk? Maybe you should contact the KBA? ;-)

You're right. By passing 4 times before first move I got a little more interesting game, where the gradients made more sense. The last move lead to a nice effekt, when the territory got darker when I got the seki: http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/2839/peepocom20110127.png.

The color of the upper middle dead group is not really distinguishable from territories color though. And the seki also could look more 'neutral'. Maybe it's just some fine tuning of the gradient colors.

Yeah, earlier resignation would be good. But's really only playing 12k?
