Yeah, I know it's an empty triangle. If he turns, I'll cut. If he connects, I'll extend now to the second; at least my chain will be connected.

OK, I get it. I can't push you around. Still, if you play S19, I will answer Q19. Of course, if you play S5, I will answer Q5.

Yeah, that was where I thought that I was going to play after the "forced" sequence at the top right. Of course, I didn't think it through. BTW, it's almost 3:00 AM here, so I am probably going to fall asleep soon.

For beginners.

Of course, :b2: is a very big move.
But from this move, and certain :black: moves later,
there's a feeling :black: was avoiding direct conflict with :white: .
This is a strategy. It could work if the follow-ups were OK,
and :black:'s follow-ups were quite OK for a long time.

Both :b8: and :b10: had this similar feeling (posts 296, 297).

For beginners.

:b20: was a local miss (post 36),
but after the :w21: - :b22: exchange, globally :black: was still in good shape.

For beginners.

This exchange :b24: - :w25: is a common beginner mistake.
( Not so easy to explain this in a few words. )
Of course, :black: did not lose the game here.
It still has to do with the follow-ups.

For example, a local follow-up for :black: is to continue the contact fight:
continue to push at (a). But in the game, :b26: went to (b).
This has to do with the understanding of basic shapes,
liberties, basic contact fight.

For beginners.

With :bc: and :b32: , I get the same feeling again that :black: is avoiding direct conflict --
almost like :black: is scared of the :wc: stone.

Go is so interesting (and difficult): why the direct contact :bt: - :wt: is not good for :black: ,
and why :bc: and :b32: feel shy (to me).

From :w33: through :b40: , :black: lost a bit locally (post 73).
Globally, of course, :black: was still doing well.

For beginners.

I thought :b44: was good; it was the first :black: move that showed fighting spirit, to me.

That corner, :b44: split :white: into two weak groups.
If :black: could continue to attack well, :white: would be in trouble.

For beginners.

This :b58: atari feels slow. Maybe too conservative; a bit scared ?
There are a few more :black: moves like this later.

Instead, if :black: takes a big move like :b1: hane, then if :w2: runs,
then :black: welcomes this fight.

The :b80: atari is another example that seems slow.

Instead, :black: has the option to push-and-cut with :b1: ... :b3: .
If :white: tries to run with :w4:, again, :black: can handle the fight.
:white: still has to deal with (a) at some point:

Hi Ed,

I resign. Congratulations and thank you for playing me. :D

Time to go back and read the hidden comments!

Hi Bill,

Thanks very much. Our return flight tickets are for coming Monday Dec 29, 2014.
Since I didn't carry any computing device for this trip except for an iPhone 4S,
this has been the only Go game I could afford this whole time.
Thank you.

You did very well, for a very long time.
I started adding some thoughts about the game in the recent few posts,
and I still had not reached the upper-left fight that was very important.

Up until that point, I was behind the whole time. :)

I'm curious about the comments, too. Like opening presents for the holidays. :mrgreen:
