EDIT: I'm having second thoughts about my comments on move 20. I'm not sure what is best there. EDIT2: I disagree with Peppernut's comment on move 31. I think your choice was best. |

Thanks for your criticism of my own suggestion. I struggled with the position after  because after  as in the game, it leaves a shape where White can double hane starting with L4. After which White is starting to build a big thing on the bottom side and it's not clear (to me at least) that an invasion there is going to be successful, with 2 white stones on each side.Am I underestimating the weakness of the black group cut off in this position? Or am I overestimating how bad allowing a hane at L4 is going to be? Or maybe something else entirely? |

Thanks to Joaz Banbeck and peppernut for their comments. I have a few reflections. Peppernut suggested a White hane at L4 in reply to  , which was move 31 in the game.A play at L4 (a Bulge Point) looks good locally, but I would have replied at M6, as shown. (I liked one- and two-point jumps in this game.) All Black's stones in the bottom right remain connected, so overall that looks better for Black than the variation peppernut showed. But I could well be wrong. Joaz criticised Black's passive one-point jump at a in the position below, and suggested the hane at instead.I rejected the hane because after White's expected answer at  , White is stronger, whereas Black now has a new cutting point.Was my real mistake a failure to envisage a whole series of further moves such as      in the diagram?And should Black 7 be at b? Go is difficult. EDIT on 26 October 2012 to correct positions of black stones in bottom right. Lastly, Joaz suggested in the position below. Even if I'd thought about a move there, I probably wouldn'thave played it because anything could happen after as shown, including Black's invaders dying on a large scale. In comparison, the few points Black a secured in the top left were at least a clear gain. |

Probably a good idea to take this game through a quick endgame analysis. For instance -- move 121 is only 1 or 2 points. Move 119 can be at move 121, get a little bigger with one move instead of two moves. Try to pick few moves from the game that is definitely big, and compare all of the previous moves to it...and ask yourself, "could I have played this now?" If yes, then you should have played that bigger endgame earlier. This exercise will help you learn when to play those big endgames, and what ordering should be taken. |

Hi FlameBlade, thanks for the comment. I never considered playing 119 directly at 121.  More generally, I feel a post coming on entitled something like "Yose mistakes, their part in my defeats", but it should be a separate thread.

If you ever do find the time and energy to comment, that means you will be enlightening three of us. (I can't believe you really disagreed with Flamebade's comment on yose.) |

Many thanks to golem7. Your comments were nicely written and look convincing to my (admittedly weak) eyes. I played the same opponent again yesterday, and lost badly. Maybe he learned more than I did from discussing this game.

I did an audio review of this on KGS on 1st Nov as part of the BGA's shodan challenge (which thordfogie watched parts of). The sound isn't saved, but here's the sgf if you want to look at the variations. (without me saying "this is good", "this is bad", or "later this can happen" (so just because I show a sequence at that time in the review doesn't necessarily mean I am saying it should be played then)). Magicwand wrote: i dont have time and strength to help you tonite. sorry. but I quickly glanced all suggestions and surprisingly disagreed with every comments. When I saw this comment without looking at the game/review, I thought "Oh that's Magicwand being, well.... Magicwand", but actually he does have a point. The reviews here focused on all sort of things I didn't with dubious to outright bad suggestions, and missed many of the important mistakes I covered in my review. I wonder what a pro would think of my review .But a summary of a few things: - At the end of the record, the white group on the lower right is still not alive! As white has k9 and saved k5 the aji is probably too bad to kill it now, but earlier quite possible it was killable (or at least the tail). - W coming into the right was heavy, particularly r5 block, see my review for suggested light ways to play - move 20 m4 was fine, B needs to protect against p3. Once defended p3 was bad. I suggested m2, and the Shuei game posted recently had the same shape and Shuei played m2. - move 31 n4 connect was the only move. - q8 stones are not heavy, the white group was weak. Black indeed should have haned and pushed. - W made trouble by invading the top side with the lower right group still weak, inviting splitting attack. o10 was a key point, if w can push here in sente then 3-3, it only gives black a ~35pt territory, w gets 10 in the corner, sente, and is in control of the game. Whether this way to play is good depends how solid the lower left white framework is. - W had a yose tesuji of p2 plus s2 in the corner. |
