Well, the titel says pretty much everything. My opponent was a 23k? on kgs, but i felt totally overwhelmed. I went through the game afterwards but couldn't find ways how to stand a decent chance. An explanation what was going on there would be much appreciated!

Hi Hrabanus, Welcome. How many games have you finished, approximately ? Less than 50 ? More than 100 ?  Yes, this shape is not good. P17 is a shared vital point."Shared" means it's good for B if B gets it, and it's good for W if W gets it.  M17 -- save AND reduce B's liberties( your idea of L16 does not reduce B's liberties. )  After this move, you get a bad, broken shape for W here.See also Toothpaste. This result began with ,and ended with when you allowed B to capture the important cutting stone . Wrong idea: your R16 group is already alive -- lots of eyespace in the corner.To improve, you need (a) more experience (thus the question about your total number of finished games; and (b) Life-and-Death exercises.  Wrong shape. You cannot connect with this move,or any other move here, if B replies correctly. To improve, you need to expand your knowledge of basic shapes. ( Again, your experience is important for this level. )  Wrong shape. Same problem as -- you cannot accomplish your goal here because your knowledge of the shape here is missing. -  This exchange and shape: Classic Toothpaste. B can hit the shared vital point J14. Shape problem ( see  ). This doesn't work (too late). Vital point. See Elephant's eye. Wrong shape. B can push at C10 and your local shape collapses. was too small, too slow -- your 2 stones there are completely unimportant.You had a chance to fix your shape with D10. If you have finished much fewer than 100 games -- ( example: less than 50 total games ) -- I suggest you finish 100 games as soon as possible. All board sizes are OK; but you can reach 100 faster with more games on smaller boards ( smaller than 19x19. ) If you already have finished 100 games, then continue to have your games reviewed, continue to do Go problems, continue to review your reviews -- Repetition is important. See Mr. Kaz's blog on Go. |

Thank you very much for reviewing my game! EdLee wrote: How many games have you finished, approximately ? About 20-25, i agree totally about the lack of experience.  Usually i ask the other player for a (short) review, i profit a lot from that—besides playing them of course. Quote: review your reviews Do you mean to go over them again by myself? I already do that, because i often don't get everything in the after-game-review. I think i understand your points as far as it is possible for me at my current level. Especially the toothpaste/small gap was a eye-opener! I’ve been aware of that mistake for a few games now, but couldn’t avoid it. Today i played two much stronger players (1k+10k kgs) and made this particular mistake a lot less.  Next month i’m going to buy a tsumego book (Graded Go Problems …), until then i’ll continue with L&D + tesujis at goproblems.com. |
