Post subject: | first game in a while |
Hey guys, I have been not been playing for some time and thus trying to play a bit to get back into the rhythm. My opponent was somewhere between kgs 1d and 2d. J14 was horrible mistake I think and later the group on the top left was very bad. I should have just jumped down instead. Other than that I'm a bit clueless about how I should have played. I'm sure lots of you will have great insightfull ideas. Edit: I'm black Thanks! Otenki |

This was a pretty good game for B, close until the late middle game. You missed a few opportunities to take advantage of W mistakes and overplays. My main suggestion would be to be more patient about taking advantage of good aji. Be more willing to leave a local situation unsettled, playing elsewhere to see how things develop. Leaving a position unsettled can put more pressure on your opponent than on you -- make him worry about all the possible attacks, rather than picking one right away. The exchanges ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sadly ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I need to get rid of not daring to play the better moves and doing too much aji removal indeed! ![]() Thanks a lot! Otenki |
