Those are my thoughts on the game... obviously my rank of 11k should act as a caveat. Anything I say could be wrong... except the bit about elephant jumps that stuff is gospel.

) We'll see what happens if we play, but you're 1-0 already with a chance to go 2-0, whereas 1-1 is the best I can now manage in this round, and after yesterday I'm under no illusions whatsoever that it's going to be easy (S1NK's game just posted is further evidence of this) 
Thanks a lot Chew, lots to think about.Chew Terr wrote:Mnemonic and Koro: a few thoughts...
7: Not big on this one. It doesn't seem to do enough of anything. In a similar situation last night, I had O5 used against me, which is similar, but I like the shape more. Alternatively, options like attaching at R3 seem interesting.
20: Good timing on this move. The opening thus far has been fairly reasonable and sensible. Good job to both.
29: At a glance, I would like to be even more aggressive, and play D14. If you can break through above or below that attaching stone, you'll hurt white.
30: This seems to be trying to prevent black from getting the middle? Each player has lots of access to the middle, so it's unlikely that the middle will become a large territory anytime soon. Instead, let's look for areas that are big. Are there weak groups? The white group in the bottom left and the attached stones in the top left look dicey. K4 would help the bottom group, or D12 would take control in the top left. Either are fairly urgent.
32: Diagonal stones count as a contact play, and if you're going to try to attack with contact plays, you want to have a clear idea of what you're going to get out of it. I recommend being prudent and pulling back to a cap with G15 or a looser enclosure with H15.
35: Better to get out than to live small inside (especially if you're not sure you'll live). Keep pushing up with G15 until either you're out or your opponent draws a line in the sand.
36: Good. Sealing is always worthwhile.
45: Again, try to get out. L16 is a good place to start.
50: While this is by no means small, I think there's a bit better if you zoom out and look at the global position. The bottom left group is still weak, so helping that more directly would be nice. However, take a look at the top. Sure, black lived inside your turf. However, you got great local thickness. Now's a good time to throw your weight around to pressure local stones there. For example, D12 solidifies territory on the left and will also let you cut off some of black's stones in the area to start building a decent middle territory as well.
51: Good, for the reason that it's where W really wanted to play. Helps your stones, and the added strength helps nullify white's new thickness. Just in time.
55: I prefer B11. You'll get to capture C11 or B12, so your stones will be fine.
61: This shape is bad/weird. If you want to cut off J6, unless you've read out a full sequence with this move, just use J5.
65: Connecting at H5 is more urgent.
145: H19.
Good game overall! Thanks for sharing!
