;C[This is a special purpose move, here it's not good as it leaves white split you. ]B[ed]BL[1781.778]

;C[White should ignore this and just capture. ]B[eb]BL[1770.321]
;W[fc]WL[1766.383]
;C[You need to come back and connect at D6. Staying connected is important, when white captures next you've a lot of cutting points and white is able to tear you apart. ]B[fb]BL[1764.963]
;W[dd]WL[1764.535]
;C[This doesn't do anything. C7 or similar fixing a cutting point is better. ]B[fa]BL[1760.217]
;W[dg]WL[1750.19]
;B[cg]BL[1757.988]
;WL[1738.268]C[You can't ignore this because D4 cuts you into pieces. ]W[cf]
;B[fh]BL[1754.166]
;W[df]WL[1728.066]
;C[Again, doesn't do anything. Avoid playing on the first line unless necessary. ]B[fi]BL[1751.677]

;C[If you want to play on top why not C6 and capture? ]B[db]BL[1729.352]
;W[fg]WL[1701.106]
;C[Can't work. ]B[dh]BL[1725.594]
;W[ch]WL[1698.228]
;C[You keep counter-ataring. This technique is very useful but only occasionally, it shouldn't be a default reaction. Here a stone at C1 doesn't really help you live. Neither stone can be saved so just play elsewhere and leave the position sit for a bit. ]B[ci]BL[1721.337]
;W[di]WL[1693.33]
;B[bg]BL[1718.044]
;W[bi]WL[1691.566]
;C[Right idea but G7 is better because it's connected to the top group. ]B[gd]BL[1716.396]

;C[Doesn't do anything. Extend to G8 and your group can live. White can't make the eye false (see variation)]B[ca]BL[1706.24]
;W[ac]WL[1682.445]
;C[You need to play G8 to live here. Hard to spot when you're starting out. ]B[id]BL[1704.785]
;W[hc]WL[1678.854]
;C[Too late I'm afraid. ]B[gb]BL[1702.172]
