| Post subject: | Tournament game |
I played this game last Thursday. It was a tournament match with 75 min main time and 1x 30 sec overtime. I'm black. All comments are welcome. I ended up with way too much groups on the board (again) Also D10 became really heavy, while I wanted to just play something flexible there. I think I did not do too bad considering white is EGF 4dan. White 138 was a great tesuji that I would have never seen. I also misread the continuation which was rather disappointing. This misread resulted in the mess in the top right. At move 213 I entered overtime and filled the ko because there was no time left to do anything else. That basically ended the game... |

I'm going out on a limb here, being that you are rated several stones stronger than I, but I think that you lost your sense of direction. Several times. 7: Q8 is a beautiful move. It is dual purpose: a pincer and an extension from your upper left shimari... 9: ...but you choose a joseki in which the only locally good move is to abandon it. One of the tradional main lines would keep the pincer stone healthy and useful. Like this: ...or this: 29: I would have haned here. You have a serious fight brewing and you need to play aggresively. Getting squashed low on the bottom of the board leaves white too much play. 39: Cutting at K5 may be premature. I'd cut at H5 first to make the black group stronger. O3 may come in useful. |

Thanks. Those were some nice points you made. 7 is a normal move. indeed usually followed by one of the variation you showed. The variation I played is one of my personal favorite joseki's in which I know how to trick hight level opponents that is the reason I played it. I think my kosumi's to the center, saving the cutting stones might have been bad. I thought I could not just give cutting stones away. but something like below might have been better. What do you think ? 29: I thought about hane here, but thought I should not push white to my weak center stones. But maybe white can not attack since he is still cut himself. I was not sure and decided not to risk it against a stronger player. Maybe I should have. 39: I think you are right. your suggestion would have simplified the game a lot. black would get strong and make sure the left center does not become a white moyo. It also solves the problem with the D11 stone which ended up way too heavy. Once black is strong on the bottom O3 is indeed a nice honte move that solidifies blacks position. I had looked at O3, but I underestimated the aji in the bottom right corner. |

Once you make the choice to bump with Q4, your variation seems as good as any. I think it is the best that you can do in a bad situation. |
