I've never really had a game reviewed by a stronger player, so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to look for when going over my games. This is a really close game I had recently.

Here are some comments: http://eidogo.com/#DYqn5oq6

I think one thing that is important to consider besides reading and doing some tsumego is the efficiency of your moves. A few places, there were moves that you made that seem ok, but only do one thing. If you thought about how you could accomplish more than one thing with a similar but with a slightly different placement, it would make a big difference in your game.

A few comments.



Go to move 185.

Hi, I won't add to the reviews, but I want to comment on how you can review your own games. Obviously, you will always overlook gaps and blind spots in your own knowledge, that's why you should ask for reviews now and then, but you are sure to make plenty of errors that you can analyse yourself.

Pick something from the game that did not work out like you wanted or expected, e.g. why did the C10 stone come under pressure? why did you lose the 3 stones at C1? what kind of territory did you expect at move 50? compare it to the outcome and explain which moves made the difference.

Thanks so much for the replies, guys! I really appreciate it. It's cool to see my moves interpreted by people who actually know what they're doing.
