Hey all! I have reviewed one of the more interesting games at Tygem. I was BLACK.
People really do not like losing at Tygem and never resign. They fill out dame points, reject counting, try impossible invasions or just wait till their time ends hoping that i will disconnect. But there is drastically more fighting and counting with respect to KGS. And since fighting is not my strong suite, i will try Tygem for a bit.
Thank you for comments!

Re: 9k Tygem Review
L4 at move 23 looks like it kills, or comes very close to killing.
Help make L19 more organized. Make an index: https://lifein19x19.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5207

Re: 9k Tygem Review
Highlights:
72: white misses a tesuji to win the capturing race
79: Black wins the race and the game is practically over
99: Black makes a rather heavy mistake in the corner pattern, but maintains a big lead
119: Black should take advantage of white's weak corner shape to strengthen his stones and kill White's invasion
135: despite successive setbacks, Black is still comfortably ahead
154: White lives again in Black's sphere of influence; there are many interesting variations here
191: somehow, Black is scared off again
192: and white lives with all his stones in Black's central territory
321: another mistake and White makes a seki in Black's corner
Conclusion: Black's technique and strategy is way better than White's but White's greed pays off due to Black's soft responses to moves that shouldn't work
