One of my spectacular 6 in a row loses today

Post by Dokuganryu »

Hi everyone! Just got beaten 6 times in 7 games, 4 of which I defeated myself, instead of "winning a won game".

Here is a game where it was the opponent not myself that defeated me, so I would be very grateful for any tips how to improve my play (besides thinking before playing...).

Move 19: I think better to just connect at J16 and see what white does.

Move 33: F14 first - this is the key point here. Not possible to try to attack when white can just walk out while ruining your outside.

Move 45: L14 and then solidly capture at G12 better. Also, this is not the correct local move after white is shut in (I think E19 is - then white has to give up F16 stones because trying to save them will allow black to play B18 and kill everything).

Move 53: Squeeze at K13 instead.

Move 61: Move 60 was small, no need to respond. Locally B14 is better shape.

Move 77: Should just capture. This way white B6/B7 is sente.

Move 123: Trying too hard. Have to M3 here.

Didn't look at the game too carefully after. 187 is better shape at N12. The weakness around N12 should have been protected. 201 should connect. 245 should be at A14. You lost the game in late yose.

Illuck gave you some good advice, so there isn't much left to do but correct his typos. I think he meant L3 at 123.

EDIT: 37 should be at E13 or G13. E14 leaves an unnecessary weakness.
Help make L19 more organized. Make an index: https://lifein19x19.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5207
