I had a very interesting game today where my opening was awful. At one point, it looked almost hopeless, but I managed to make a great comeback, and many dead groups were resurrected in the process of winning. It is probably my best comeback game ever and I was able to make good use of aji :lol: :)

Enjoy!

Yep, must have been fun. The board got really complicated, fortunately you were able to exploit the complexity to earn what was in the end a big win.

I just have one comment - move 37. In this situation, you want to settle your group as quickly as possible. White is really strong to both sides of your group. The move you played just created two weak groups, which is exactly the result white wanted, as it allowed him to exploit his influence perfectly. Instead, I would recommend attaching on the 2nd line with B14, or just jumping out with E12. The latter is probably better. If you assess the board position at move 36, it feels like black is leading in terms of territory and potential, provided you can neutralize the thickness in the bottom left area. White's four stones on the top are extremely loose, and could not remotely be called territory.

17 should be bad, I think. White didn't quite exploit it properly though - 20 should squeeze you from the outside.
