| Post subject: | 2 stone Hadicap (KGS 8kyu) |
I'm not really used to play a handicap game as white so I started to experiment a bit in this game. Of course I was White, in the middle I suddenly started to play to fast and slowed a bit down at the end. I added a few comments to the game that should explain a few moves I made. I'm sure I made many mistakes especially shape a nd stuff like that, so what could I have done better? Where do I need to improve the most? |

11: The 4-4 stone is a high stone. It will only fulfill its destiny if it moves outward. F16 or E15 is probably best. ( See SL for 'high' and 'low' ) 25: This is neither fish or fowl. Are you trying to take the corner? If so, play R17. Are you trying to extend from your R14 stone? If so play S16. dinnertime...BRB |

2nd pass: 17: It is not a bad habit to think of connections, so C13 is a good reflex. But, it is not urgent at all. If he plays it, it just makes him heavy. So you need not play it now either. Think big. Play F15, and you are encircling 40+ points. 20: Really good move by your opponent. 33: If the position were like this, but the O17 stone was not there, would your next move be O17? Especially after considering R18 and R17 and P15? Of course you wouldn't. It's clearly too deep. It is better to let it sit, let the aji be a constant sourch of concern for him and ko threats for you. I think that reduction is better than invasion here. I'm not sure what is best, maybe P13? Maybe M15? 37: You're getting heavy, yet are still eyeless. This can't be good for you. 40: Bad play by black. He should probably play M12. |
