I didn't expect that move, i had to think alot about this board position & im not sure about move number 13 anymore, it doesn't looks like its doing to much right now;

so i came up with this move & it is aiming at putting pressure on the top left corner, so he might defend his corner, then i will move to attack the side, its still early and the top left section is still unsetteled so lets see what he will do next

if it was easy it wouldn't be fun

and the only way u learn to ride a bike is by falling off and trying again

i enjoyed the game, if i would change anything i would not play tengen because i don't think you have the time, besides that feel free to challenge me for a rematch

Thank you

from the few moves played, white's tengen was a bit dubious and probably suboptimal, but no big deal in a SDK game. two bad moves were the armpit hit and ignoring the shoulder hit. if you practice the Intuition style, these are moves you should definitely omit unless proven good by reading and positional judgement

as you surely know, the board is in no way lost yet. i can understand your frustration and extrapolation how would the rest of the game would look, but i believe overcoming such feelings would be more valuable for life than any strength gained in go (at least for me, if i achieve that)
