My game vs James on Dave Peck's Go site (~8k)

Post by Alexfrog »

My game against my friend James that we played on Dave Peck's Go site. (corresponance).
I think that James will post here as well, so you are analyzing for TWO people. :)

What could we have done better? Thanks!

I believe that I would probably capture the stone but lose the stones to the right of it. This is what ended up happening in the game later on.

Was there a better way I couldve played that would get a better result than this?

The result seemed okay, the ponnuki I got from it walled off my top left territory well, but black got a big corner in the upper right (but he started with a shimari there so he was probably going to get something good regardless).
