This is my latest game and I won big, but I still have some questions on this one.
A few strong players here said about my last posted game that I should attack more and this game now shows how I try to be more aggressiv.

I added some comments to my game so that you can understand why I played these moves.
Of course it would be nice if you could comment me about this game like: good moves, bad moves, what would have been better
And of course where I need to work some more on.

I'll just make some quick comments:

:b15: R10 is the correct move here, but I think :b11: would be better at R14.
:b19: is too slow. :b17: might be better at N3 and it still threatens to slide in. After :w16: regardless you should play B4, I think.
After :w20: jumping out at E9 would be better.
The :w22: - :b25: exchange shows why jumping would be better.
:b29: should be at N14 if you want to build the right side, I think.
:b53: - :b59: are very passive.

That's all for now, but one last thing...

:b105: is the perfect time to practice reading in your game. If you read that you don't need to spend a move to kill there, play somewhere else! If you played there just because you think you might need it, you should read more. If you read it dies and it lives, review the game afterwards to see if you had a better sequence when white tries to make life, etc.

If white cuts at :w6: he can swallow the Black stone in a net with :wc: Not only does he have a rather big amount of territory, but he also has some influence. I think this would be better.

Thanks everyone for all those useful hints, I changed my way of thinking about the game a bit and I only played one game so far with the new ideas, but the result was a fast win.
I post that game in a own thread, since I want to know if my new ideas are good or not.

Thanks to you all I understand Go a lot better and it became even more fun :tmbup:
