Hello, everybody!!!
Can someone give me a review about this game, please? I'm black.
If possible, I would like some tips about "how to invade or reduce" the territory of my opponent, because I wanted it a lot on chuban, but I didn't know how. ^^

Thank you a lot!!!

Hi DiogoBarbosa,

:b25: :b27: :b29: were very slow and flat and let w develop his moyos.

The sequence from :b45: to :b59: only widens your territory by a few points (around 6*3, so 18 points). the wall white is getting looks to have much more potential than that (in fact, with the D4 wall opposite, much of this area looks like territory). To say it otherwise, b is building the lines numbered 14 to 16 while he (almost) gives white the rows 4 to 12, this can not be good.

An alternative move for :b45: might have been to erase w's moyo. Maybe the shoulder hit at D9 (but this could be too close to the D4 wall), perhaps erasing more lighlty at E10 is better.

Shenoute, thank you very much!!! This helped me a lot!
But can you tell me examples of better moves to make at :b25:, :b27:, :b29: please?

Hi DB,

:b25: If you're worried W will build a monster in the center,
you can read Q9, N9, o9, etc. Remember W has o4, N5, etc.
If you jump in too deeply, you may get into trouble.
If you jump in not deep enough, then W may get too much.
You have to read, and expect a strong counter attack from W -- a big fight.

:b17: Personally I might not choose the R15 direction -- the right side already has so many W stones. I may consider o16 direction,
or, some high pincer, say Q12, so W doesn't get a huge moyo.
( Your :b17: at R15 is OK, no problem; you didn't lose the game here. )

Hello, I'd like to question the timing of move 33 in your game. If you like to avoid a moyo this invasion seems to early. You got the corner on a high price. Strengthen your opponent on the outside in gote. Just my two cents. Enjoy the game!
