I don't think so. Most of the time, a complicated fight is in my experience merely the last and most obvious symptom that something went horribly wrong long before that (a big group that has to run obviously was weak before the opponent started to chase it), and hence most of those games are not really decided by miscalculation on one side or the other. Of course, this doesn't mean that (deep! complicated!) tactics aren't a crucial part of the game of Go, it's just that, as is the case also in chess, tactics don't fall out of the blue anywhere.... :) Regards, Janosch
