Re: One of my games
I probably would have reacted to 118 as you did, but I would definitely play 121 at S14 rather than T14. I'd play it on instinct alone, but you can immediately see a concrete consequence; White wouldn't have gotten to play T15 in sente.

Hi rfmvad,
Why? Taking W's base doesn't seem right here:
W is already out, with

Locally, R4 probably better, as it helps your corner group.
W gets the nice turn at P9 -- a big shared vital point.
P9.

Could be a bad habit, bad exchange; self-reducing liberties.
o8 or N8 -- huge shared vital point.
o8 -- huge shared vital point. If W o7, you double hane at N7.

Instead of and , how about P12 ? Attack and close W on a big scale.
Good. Cap.
Hmm... Seems N15 or M16 direction is better.

You want the outside; close W completely ( killing is a bonus ).

C18.
Impossible. Maybe the biggest mistake so far.
If you study and understand what's happening this corner,
I feel it's worth this game.
( We're still 50, 100 moves, a long way, from your "most interesting" questions.
But this corner is crucial fundamentals. )
