Gomoto's Blunders Volume One:


Lessons learned:

Read, read read! I knew the better alternative move for 49 from a similar Joseki. But I was to lazy to read it out and chickened out again. :-)

I did not spot the critical weakness at H17 and missed a necessary reinforcing move.

Many times before I thought I played a reasonable game only to realize later how flawed it was indeed.

This is the first of my games where I am quite contend with my moves even after the review ;-) (And I played a bunch of games already :lol:). There are some doubtful plays on my side (For expample move 71 much too small), but I did not find any critical mistakes for black in this one.

(moves after 129 are excluded from the record)
