Just another OGS game

[tekesta]

I played this game just now. My opponent was 12k, but I lost by 9.5 points. He played rather solidly, almost like Shusaku Still, I have not been playing daily and it shows in my less-than-optimal opening plays. And I did give up 6 White stones in the lower right corner, so this might have decided the game in my opponent's favor. Much obliged in advance for your comments.
