I recently played against a friend on KGS, after finding out that he had learned the basics from a highly ranked family friend in the past.
Being unfamiliar with much more than the rules and fuzzily-remembered advice, my friend (Black) fell for lots of basic tactical traps and performed some doomed invasions that an experienced player would have avoided. For my part, I was sloppy with my structure and lost a lot of territory when he attacked (see moves 170, 174, 182 where I let myself be cut, and then barely kept a large group alive).
I've reviewed the game and annotated it with my thoughts, playing through some of the alternative paths; any advice is appreciated.
