Hi, please, review this game.

I probably would have reacted to 118 as you did, but I would definitely play 121 at S14 rather than T14. I'd play it on instinct alone, but you can immediately see a concrete consequence; White wouldn't have gotten to play T15 in sente.

Hi rfmvad,

:b11: Why? Taking W's base doesn't seem right here:
W is already out, with :w10: .
Locally, R4 probably better, as it helps your corner group.
W gets the nice turn at P9 -- a big shared vital point.

:w12: P9.

:w12: - :b13: Could be a bad habit, bad exchange; self-reducing liberties.

:w16: o8 or N8 -- huge shared vital point.

:b17: o8 -- huge shared vital point. If W o7, you double hane at N7.

:b21: o8.

From :b11: and :b21:, it seems you're sensitive to territory --
but perhaps at the expense of the global context. :)

:b25: and :b27: Similar problem: too focused on the "local" situation,
missing the bigger picture. Do you feel :b27: is very inefficient ?
( Locally, at least Q11 is better, yes ? :) )
Instead of :b25: and :b27:, how about P12 ? Attack and close W on a big scale.

:b31: Good. Cap.

:b37: Hmm... Seems N15 or M16 direction is better.
( Consistent with :b33: and :b35: . )
You want the outside; close W completely ( killing is a bonus ).

( :b37:, :b39:, :b41: ) Re: ( :b11:, :b21:, :b25:, :b27: ) Only looking at local cash, ignoring the whole board.

:w42: M14 direction. ( Re: :w12: missing P9 turn. )

:b45: M10 ( eyeing M7 follow-up. )

:w46:, :w48: Could be the same bad habit as :w12:.

( :w46:, :w48:, :w50: ) Instead, W can jump ahead directly to M7.

:b65: C18.

:b67: Impossible. Maybe the biggest mistake so far.
If you study and understand what's happening this corner,
I feel it's worth this game.
( We're still 50, 100 moves, a long way, from your "most interesting" questions.
But this corner is crucial fundamentals. )
