Life In 19x19

white 2D+ versus gomoto

this time against the usual trend I botched the opening and won by exploiting my opponents mistakes later in the game
(aka great learning opportunities for me)

my favourite fuseki:

Here I choose the wrong 3-3 point, but I wanted to try the upper left corner because I studied the 4-4 large knights enclosure recently.

Allthough I studied the large knights move I missed the correct move.

Now it is time for tenuki.

After the bad exchange by black white handled the lower left corner not optimal.
But black missed the correct continuation.

black tries something different (aka black went for the wrong variation)

white is winning

a white mistake and black recognizes it

black is catching up

whites critical mistake

here white resigned:

I like this game because I won it later in the game by exploiting my opponents mistakes. I am used to the other way around.
