Messed up this life-and-death
Messed up this life-and-death
Hello,
I hope, this works technically.
In this game I had black and thought I could kill both groups, especially the lower one seemed doable. I spotted the vital point in move 35 I guess but then I messed up. Can sb give an explanation what went wrong?
I am not smart enough for the analysis function of ogs - it only shows the "best" move and the rating for some others (and the played one) but I can't really "explore" with the engine - what I would do in chess...
I tried lizzie but on a Mac it's pretty impossible to install and also no 9x9 support from leela, so, I have no idea what to do.

35 does seem like a vital point, but white can get a second eye by playing the 1-2 point, as white eventually did in the game. So when white didn't play the 1-2 for 36, you could go ahead and play it to get the kill.
Definitely, at 53 you should play at 1-2 instead, to kill.

Since the lower white group cannot be killed against best defense, black should play 35 at the 1-2 point.

Also, you want to avoid repeated mistakes. Take another look at 19 and 37. You could in both cases have captured the invading stone without letting white farther in.
