Some comments.

I think is a really big aji keshi.
but i could be wrong.

Game 6 or 7 or something is done:

I felt in the last game that I let white get away with too many weak groups and resolved not to do the same in this game. I thought I dealt with the upper right decently well, but I'm curious what everyone else thinks. I wasn't able to figure out how to grab Unusedname's malkovich comments from nova, so I'll leave them to him.

I think we're 2-2 with 2 stones, if you count the crap game I lost early that we didn't bother posting. (I think I was frustrated and played way too aggressively and quickly in that game.)

Some comments on the opening, up to move 32 . Please take these comments with a grain of salt; when I say a move is right or wrong, it is obviously not the absolute truth but my (1k - 1d) opinion about it.
(My comments are surrounded by "***")

hmmm i assumed malko comments would unlock themselves?
Were you able to figure out how they worked?


The big changes I would have made were :w103:

I severely underestimated your two cutting stones haha.

edit: oh figured it out. "re: malko"

malkovitch comments.
once again they seem to be mismatched.
So if something doesn't make sense just look a few moves ahead.
Ofc some of it might just be me rambling.

Malkovich Comments



The comments appear when you directly download the sgf of the game instead of the review.

A note: It appears the malkovich comments appear a turn before I wrote them.
So if you just click the next move the comment will make sense.
Well it'll make more sense.


Post-game comments.

Idk there wasn't a lot to say. I didn't see a lot of mistakes except at the end. But like you said a high stone probably would have been more helpful, also harrassing my weak group in sente before you played the gote extension would have helped too.

Who would have thought high vs low stones would have such an effect at our level of play?

Game 9, in which I win by resignation while not entirely convinced that I am ahead.


I've included some comments, but feel free to comment as well.

Oh wow i did not see the atari at 123. I thought you were talking about earlier in the game.

:W13: I didn't play C6 because I already had the low stone there. I wanted you to play on that side (Whether this is right or not I do not know)

:B28: Yeah I thought this was terrible for me. Not as bad as it could have been though because I had full access to the center. It even almost became a very good wall to build off of. Plus the J4 stones could have fallen into danger.
After O6 I was pretty sure I was going to be forced to resign soon haha

:W43: I felt this was a great result for white. I take the corner and erase the value of the wall I just gave you.

:W65: I didn't like this in the end. Now I can't play F16 nor J16. And there was already only at most one eye at the top.

:W83: I felt like you should have played at this point instead. Maybe I could have just played P9 and threaten to cut off at Q14. Because of the poor connection at G11. (But seeing as I never did that I guess there was something that made it impossible?)

:W93: I decided to start taking endgame too soon I suppose. Either way I should have done O1 before this. That way I could easily get an eye on the bottom of the board.

If
B110 G4
W111 L12

This is how I read the fighting going if the game continued. I do not know how the capture race would end.

skydyr, too many hanes, leaving too many cutting points.

Where exactly are you referring to?
