seki and dying: a fine line

Ian Butler · #1

So with Spring in the air and me having taken a trip down memory lane, I really wanted to play a game. I'm sick of being concerned with improving and whatnot. I decided to just play.
It's online, but I try not to blitz. Today it worked out okay at some points, though I completely ceased thinking and reading on the bottom, mindlessly imitating plays I remember from another context.

So while I got ahead initially, I lost my lead and was behind by 30 points there. Quite a lapse in concentration.
I do something desperate and it only takes two mistakes by my opponent to swing the game back to my favour. One is him missing a chance at seki instead of handing me the kill.

What follows is a great test (for someone like me, who is very prone to give away games where I'm leading, losing focus especially on computer Go) to stay focused and stay strong. Today I managed fine and black couldn't catch me with my pants down again.

Result:
Bad: I still played relatively blitz-y
Bad: the bottom sequence. I can't even ... Terrible ... Just no

Good: I find my focus again to go for the kill and to fend off Black's further attacks, both on the left and in the right bottom corner.
Good: Attack with a plan and by gaining territory (a lot of it)

I want to take home one or two lessons from each game. So I hope to get some help deciding what lessons to learn from this one.
I think one is:
- don't push your opponent to your own weak group (I attacked to make profit, but in turn weakened my own group. In my defense, I thought it was alive with 2 eyes. It almost was, but in the end it almost died / sekied
Maybe for the 2nd lesson:
- Connect back up if you can instead of letting yourself getting surrounded without certainty of life.

What do you think? Good conclusions based on the game?

Thanks!

Some self review with Leela, comments in the file. Stops at move 164, except for a final comment at the end, about the corner up top.

Two concepts to think about to improve your game:

Note in the fourth and seventh diagrams, I suggest plays that probably won't kill, but will saddle your opponent with weak groups. Sometimes the burden of continually defending those groups may be worse than losing them.

Also, check https://senseis.xmp.net/?VitalPoint. Try to grasp the essence of the concept of a vital point.

At 237 what if Black D7? I had to look at it a few times.

It is tricky. I think A10 defends.

Then White can run out, right?

Bill Spight · #6

Several comments with some tricky variations. No guarantee I got everything right, OC.

Main foci:

1) As a rule, do not attack from behind. Get ahead or in front.

2) Don't go after the small stuff. Not at first, anyway.

3) Attack potential eyes, as a rule.

4) Keima for attack.

Although with black's best play, white has to give up A5 and B5, but he escapes northward.

At first glance, :w1:
