can I get any comments on this 4 stone handicap game? it was my first game trying to play against 4 stones, and also against an opponent a lot stronger than i am. I have always had something against handicap stones, and usually play even board only. I thought I came up with an interesting attack, although he got too much 4th line territory. but my friend seems to think it was total crap. when i showed him the game without saying what the ratings were or even that it was me playing, he guessed it was a 10k vs 6k. is he right?

Did you give handicap to a stronger player?

yeah we tried it just to see what i could do. push myself past my limits

I think white was lost as soon as he played E7 (move 15).
