I think this is the first move that he made that looks really bad to me.

I'll have to do some reading, but the cut looks insanely good for me.

@Bill

Because I succeeded so much in not overthinking that I "underthought" things :-D

In all seriousness, though, the way I play go these days seems... emotional(?). If a move feels good, I play it. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Kind of like the crosscut situation ez4u pointed out from the other thread.

I probably need to use the logical part of my brain more, but it's a hard habit to break.

Well, I may have underthought things. It seems like the nobi was my first thought, the hane was yours. :)

Yeah, I'm generally greedy. Inseong says I should fix my own weakness more than doing something fancy. I always feel behind when I play normally, though.

I think I need more patience.

Turns out his last move was not as bad as I initially thought, as I can't cut.

I think this is the best move locally and it should be sente.

I feel like playing on the right side, but I'm not really in the mood for go right now. I will come back when I feel in the mood.

Not studying go these days; trying to find a goal in life. My was really sick last year, but hopefully he's ok now (time will tell). I changed jobs and get paid more now for lower stress. Before, my son's health and my job gave me some amount of stress, and Go was an outlet for that stress.

Now, stress is reduced a lot. I spend lots of time with my family, and exercise everyday.

But apart from those two items, I have room for doing something else. Some ideas:
* study go
* study korean
* study japanese
* start a business
* contract work to start a second form of income
* move abroad for a year
* sell my house and live someplace bigger
* learn a new hobby
* write a book
* make a blog
* do programming competitions
* read more books

Many possibilities come to mind, but I'm a bit paralyzed by choice. No one thing in particular screams out to me as the right path for my life.

So in the meantime, while I casually ponder this, I keep exercising, spending time with family, and not studying other things.

Is it a waste? I guess not if I don't feel a calling. I'm not living up to potential in many parts of life, but I don't seem to feel bad about it.

I guess that's OK?

No clue if this is the right move.

The other option would have been R5, but letting him give up his stone for the corner seems to make it to easy for him.

Lets see if we can't turn this into an all or nothing fight.

If there is an area for me to do it then it is certainly here.
