I did get some brief pro commentary on this, which is included mixed up with some of my own thoughts. Any comments are most welcome. I lost this game due to a large blunder near the end, but there were other parts where I made mistakes and was lucky to catch up. I didn't have a clear way to handle white 50 and would appreciate some insight there, although in reality I probably have to work more to read out such fights on my own. |

Glad to see you posting more actively on the forum, Calvin! And it was nice to see you at the US Go Congress. As you've already had this reviewed by a pro, I don't think I can compete with their review. So I'll share my opinions, without looking at the variations you've given or the game. I'll just comment as I go through it. --- ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() :b117: - Good to break through on the side. It's too bad you didn't get more. Great that you could get that ko! :b123: - Good idea, but I also kind of like K11 instead. I think black still has good influence to make something happen in the center. :w124: - You can smile now and try to kill him. :b139: - Seems small. Maybe F5 instead? :b149: - Seems you are way ahead. I guess you said you made a mistake later. It seems you are winning now for sure. :b155: - Ah, I see. I guess you were worried about him living inside. He has only one eye in this area if you protect your group not to die. If you are concerned about it, I guess at move 153, you can play B7. --- Anyway, good game. I think you had a good shot at winning, especially when it looked like you'd take all of that center territory! |

Hi Kirby, The emoticons unfortunately only go up to the 100th move; but they look like this -- ![]() ![]() ![]() I use ![]() ![]() ![]() Until somebody extends the emoticons to 101 and beyond... ![]() ![]() |

Thanks, Kirby! Yes, I think I was stuck with maybe a fixed idea that ![]() ![]() Yes, ![]() For ![]() |

O14 is better than game in my opinion, but I still like N14. I suppose you want to keep open the option for killing the stones, which may give some benefit to O14. But I think it's also valuable to squeeze with N14, even though white can break through. Though white breaks through, you get free black stones on the outside from squeezing, and a bit of thickness locally. Perhaps I feel this way because you already played M15. Since you played M15, N14 is consistent since it keeps relationship with that stone, whereas the game move or O14 clearly let white break through, and it makes M15 not that useful. |
