Daniel_the_smith and I had our game which lead to Daniel's victory by around 40 points.
Congrats, Daniel, and good luck for your next game (and many thanks to freegame for his audio review following the game) !

Thanks for the game, it was fun and you had chances

Sorry I couldn't stay and review.

Thanks for posting, that was a cool game to play through. Actorios, at least you went down nobly.

That was an awesome seki, and a truly enjoyable game. Thanks to both players, and congrats to Daniel.

MountainGo(W) vs. lindentree(B), B+53.5

8: Wrong way. The standard joseki gets you a nice wall to go with D3

18: Again, the choice of joseki ignores neighboring corners.

21: Ouch

23: Ouch

45: The wrong direction. Try Q8. Take 4th rank territory while chasing him toward your wall. Forcing white toward the center just encourages him to surround your center group.

Disagree. D3 is too far away. Black ends in sente and can nullify the wall.

As you can see here, when pros block the way you're proposing there's almost always a stone on or near D10. (Sorry, I'll try not to be obnoxious with stuff like this, but it's so easy to check now...)

Um, thank you for the comments, but you could have been clearer on who each comment was intended for.

Oroth vs Aphelion will be in 30 min or so (about 11:20am EST).

Aphelion vs Oroth, I took black and won by resignation. Attached is game with review from Shaddy.

Aphelion continues to stomp his opponents. Well done.

Kokomi/snowcat beat me by 12.5. Thanks for the game! Will post comments later, but I have to run.

Yeah, it was a bit sloppy. Sorry about that. The first four were addressed to white, the last to black.

I had black in my match against zinger and lost by resignation, though I felt like I made a game out of it.

@zinger: The white pieces really worked well together in the fuseki. I enjoyed it.

All comments below are for Fwiffo, except #54 to zinger.

19: This feels just a tad too casual. True, it is as big as almost any point on the board, but it lacks punch. It give white sente.
If you are concerned about the health of your upper left group, B18 is semi-sente, for he has to worry about C13.
Also, moves like F3 or R11 have a bit more urgency to them.

29: This is too small. If you want to increase your impending moyo, try F8 or F10 or O6. If you want really big, tenuki to the right side.

37: You must play O6 here, or retain sente to do so.

54: Why not just play O6 now? Your opponent knows that you must play it. When you play Q9 first, you are committing to a certain pattern of attack, and then you stop to play O6 so that he has breathing space to defend - when he knows what the attack will be. Better to play O6 first, and leave him to worry about where you will hit when you have no weaknesses of your own, and he has to defend against any type of attack.

61: Too close to strength. If you have to play there, try N16 at least.
But you have far more urgent things to worry about than defending territory up top. I would have played S12 here, trying to keep everybody connected. Then N12 and N8 are miai, if I read correctly.

83: You must reinforce up top. H17 maybe?
If you has played B18 earlier, it might be different.

Thank you for the comments. I have no idea why O6 never occurred to me. Seems pretty clear in retrospect.

Fwiffo and me will play on 14th Aug at GMT 20.00, if we are corretly paired (very unlikely to be wrong )

Obnoxious? You have nothing to apologize for at all. It looks like you are right - the pros almost never play it that way unless there is something closer.
Thanks for catching my error.

Thanks JB. I consider the opening to be a weakness in my game so it's nice to hear that.

In the post-mortem, fwiffo and I agreed that white 84 was a big mistake, it should have been at C4. Then if black continues E2, white can take sente, perhaps to play J17, or maybe something like F14 for a moyoish strategy.
