aka the blundering idiot trying to fight. Yes, these are 2 masterpieces of sucking at go, it's incredible how deep the failure goes in these games. Right now I'd say I'm done with these fighting games, but that's just the immense disappointment talking. I know that feeling usually transpires into motivation to learn after a few hours although I seriously doubt I'm learning anything with games like this, so I'll probably be back for an even bigger ass-kicking. Go players must be true masochists. Also, I can't call these fighting games. Better to say they are slaughter-games, and I'm on the receiving end, from start to finish. One even ended in crashing CGoban by clicking the resign button a million times, just to get away from the awfulness. So for your amusement, here are the games. |

Hi, Just some ideas. In the first game I think the most important thing is how black did not put much pressure on white's invasion at ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To be a bit more precise: ![]() ![]() You generally don't have to kill invasions like 74 (well, sometimes you have to ![]() |

Thanks for your observations! Yes, invasions are definitely something to look into, too. Maybe time for me to go back to Get Strong at Invading. Was a bit difficult for me a few months ago but could be better for me now. Anyway, I think I can call this the (premature but perfectly timed) end of the mini review series. Because I've learned the lesson I was supposed to learn from this. And that is: attacking/fighting without purpose gains nothing. How will I get strong at fighting, then? Just by practicing L&D and by trying to put a little more pressure on my opponent in regular games. Not looking for fights, but trying to sense the right time to pressure the opponent, looking to gain something, attack from strength ... Rather than play games with the objective to get in a fight and win the fight. So lesson learned ![]() Though maybe I can keep up the series and now try to attack properly... I'm gonna sleep on it. |
