I do not think that strategy for Hahn should be to play like a beginner.
Rather one should include the following in one's considerations:
- Enlarging one's win score / decreasing the opponent's win score in
relation to an increased risk in the context of a tournament system and
the current tournament standings.
- Limiting further risk increment at or slightly above the top Hahn score.
- Modifying risks according to the non-linear progress of Hahn score steps.
In comparison in Go, a predictable secure or likely loss of any (also
the smallest) size is met by increasing the risk as much as possible.
Three instead of one major meta-aims make Hahn meta-strategy more
complicated than Go meta-strategy. (Plus, they create a different game.)
This is pretty much a proof that playing for score is a
significantly DIFFERENT strategy.
Many, if not by far the most, human players have made this empirical
proof, too.
