This weekend I couldn't play against Ian because I participated in a tournament. I had interesting matches, but was not very satisfied with the result since I only won one game out of 5, so will probably be demoted to 8k. I recorded three games and reviewed lightly with LeelaZero.
Game 1 was against a 8k. The beginning was correct, but my main mistake was
. I knew the geta didn't work, but I wrongly thought I would get good shape after. Instead I should have sacrificed my three stones. Afterwards I got two weak groups and one of them died. I didn't record a few desperate attempts I made before resigning.Game 2 was my only victory.
made a few points in gote but should have been used to close the bottom territory. At move 83 my position was not bad, but my invasion 
got killed, so I was behind just after that. Somehow, Leelazero says I was way ahead at move 108. After some moves which didn't work like 
128, I was behind again, but my opponent made a big mistake at move 209 which cost him the game.Game 3: I was completely slaughtered.
should have been at C12. 
was useless since it didn't allow me to get out. 
was a wrong invasion point since it allowed my opponent to launch a splitting attack, M17 would have been better. After that, I was so much behind that I made desperate attempts which didn't work.I didn't record the last two games because I preferred to concentrate on the game. Game 4 started with a disaster, my opponent killed a group and made a huge territory. I was about to resign but continued nevertheless and managed to catch up a bit. This wasn't enough though, I lost by 12 points. In game 5 I was behind by 10-15 points most of the game and never managed to catch up.
