I have some comments on your game, Jordus. These are some of the things that stuck out to me the most:

*The sequence from 37-45 seems to help white more than black.

*I'm not sure of the meaning of move 79 (E16)...

*Move 176 (A6) is so gote...

*At 205, you might consider P4 instead of P5 to connect.

*I don't think 243 (A17) is necessary.

I'm a bit salty.

Thanks for your comments...

Move 79 was me not reading right.. for some reason I thought it would take away an eye and make the group a dead group...

Move 205 I felt I had a good lead and decided to just play it safe and connect the way i did... I didn't want to take the chance of forgetting the false eye... especially on my last game of the tournament...

Move 243 I wasn't 100% sure if my response to an invasion there would be good... So I played it extra safe again....
I'm thinking...

I went 3-2, lost one by 0.5. ;-) Had a good time though, it was great meeting so many forum people. Anyway, Jordus, PM me for a game on KGS anytime. (I will refute all of your moves :lol: )
