Game against Handy (8Kyu)

Post by Dragonstone »

Hello
I am Tim. I play go for a few month but i can not play regularly because of my job.

Here is a game against my handy (8Kyu but I do not think that it is so strong)

Can someone look at that game and tell me a few things which moves are bad or good?
That would be amazing.

In my opinion (I am white):
I like my opening until move 21/22. But I do not like the “structure” which I build after it...

I lost a lot of points with move 59 from black.

What about move 118 to 126? was it good?

I lost with -35 points. What can I change?

Greetings
Tim

This is the game:



To do this in your opening post, richt click on your link to the game and click "copy url"(or soemthing like that and then add that url between sgf tags in your post)

Some things I noticed on first glance

You should allow black to split was was almost your territory so easily from 61 -73. After 62 at g13 these 2 black stones are more or less dead for example
move 74, if you want to capture those 2 stones, just do it (F18 instead E18). If you dont want them, there is no need to play e18 either
move 82 is basically a pass. Have a look at how you can stop black from killing you if he tries to play here even without the potential exe at f15. So is 84 after he returned the favor with 83.
moves like 114(1 point! ) and pretty much everthing happening between move 160 and 190 are pretty small, while b3 would be a rather big endgame move(at 114 also other very big moves are left)
In gereral I think you follow you opponent around a little too much
