Life In 19x19

Here is a game that I just wrapped up. Please provide a general analysis of the game on where either player lost out on big point moves.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi negapesuo,

Were you B or W ?

Slow, small. Why ?

D3 directly.

Hi negapesuo,

You let W connect back because you missed at D3 directly.

You go after unimportant stones ( P13,Q13 ). Why ?
Are (P13,Q13) cutting stones ?Can P13 make a lot of territory ?Can P13 easily make a lot of power ?Are (P13,Q13) worth a lot of points ? ( and are similar problems. )

F5/F6.

Follow-itis!! F18!

Very small. C17 much bigger.

Very small, almost a pass.

Very small, slow.

Small.

Very small, almost a pass.

- Bad exchange for B. This helps W.
Without this exchange, your push at H6 is better.

Small, slow, or unnecessary moves: , , , , , , , , ( ~ 25% )
Necessary move (missed): .

During 69 -77, what others moves are bigger? Perhaps reduction at k5? I honestly didn't know and just tried to surround territories.

You need to get into a habit of counting.
Did you count throughout the game ?
What's the situation ? Are you ahead, even, or behind ?

What to do depends on your assessment.
