Post subject:  Two games against COSUMI software.

Today I played two games against COSUMI.net . I have lost many games against this program on 13x13, even at level 1. Today, I won for the first time in a long while. (And I lost right after that :mrgreen: ) Much obliged in advance for your kind commentary.

This is the first game. The invasion at the bottom is what allowed me to win the game; one common mistake of mine is letting my opponent get a big moyo.



And the second. I apparently did not do well in the endgame and let White reduce Black's moyo early on.

Hey, you have quite a few chances to kill the lower left group in the first game. It's a pity that you let it live.

There's an issue with efficiency.

:b11: might be OK: I think it is smaller than playing on the lower side. But spending another play actually taking the stone is not OK.

:b15: is small. Definitely bigger to close the lower right corner.

:b25: If you have to play here, :b23: doesn't look right.

:b33: There is a vital point of eye shape on the right side.

:b41: Black plays numerous stones in the centre, gets nothing much but "safety" for strong stones.

:b57: Forced? No, and Black could break through on the upper left side.

:b67: Sets White a reading problem. Does the diagonal connection on the first line work?

:b69: The answer is "no", so this isn't needed.

:b71: Nor is this.

So you captured stones, too slowly.
