Post subject:  Operation Overboard [Game #5] (handicap)
Okay so we keep going. Yesterday I thought about ending the series with 2 conclusions:
- fighting is no good without anything to gain
- I can't fight

Today we continue. With these 2 conclusions in mind, we'll attempt to make 2 new conclusions:
- I'll fight to gain
- I'll learn to fight

Today I meet an opponent I've already met 2 months ago, then as 12 kyu and I lost by 3.5 pts
Today I faced him with 3 black stones on the board, I had to play as white.

Because of that disadvantage, I played moves I ordinarily wouldn't play (usually I'd respond more passively and safe) and it made for an interesting game.

Once again, any help especially concerning fighting would be much appreciated!

Move 37 one to the left would enclose black (who might then die), the 2nd purpose of going into right is not important now, enclosing black well is #1 priority. 43 clamp is a nice idea to have in your arsenal, but if black played better would likely fail: n10 and k9 cut and you have too many weaknesses, he was kind to give you a stone at j9.

Sounds like you should give more handicaps. :D
