Good move of him.
I was expecting O13 so I would play N16 instead.

( For beginners. ) No. :b15: is not good for B, and it helps W.
W can just connect with :w2:. Then W has the nice follow-up
of W(a) hane, B(b) hane, W(c) double-hane:

I haven't read edlee's post, but I know what it is about.
My last move was a mistake. I spent the whole night thinking about it.
I was tired and I panicked.
I should have pinced black.
Rats... :grumpy:

( For beginners. ) No. Over-thinking. Unclear on the basics. Just connect.

Well not as planned. I will cut and likely run/tenuki? I am really feeling a need to lay a claim on the bottom middle star point. Just seems like the bigger move.

Looking back 30 seconds later, I must admit I am really disappointed in my previous move. Disgusted more accurate.

Due to my previous mistake, I have to cope with my loss now.
I'll try making the group at O15 stronger so I may have more chance against his group at N16.
Trying a ladder against that group would be very dangerous.

totally discouraged with this ugly position. At this point the 15 group is not a priority for me. Can't connect, not worth the moves. 13 group also stuck with a 3 liberty. As much as I feel like I'm dancing to gote I'm going to extend 13 to at least salvage some profit on east side. Will hit bottom middle at later date.

i realize I'm giving big great influence toward center however I want to walk away from this with a tangible asset (territory on the right side) vs potential benefit in the future.

@Quietimes,

When you post your next diagram :
change $$Bcm11 to $$Bcm21 and my last move (0) to an O.


Trying to make a wall here, will defend after his move and try a net to capture the black stones,
If it fails, I'll try making territory on the upper side.
I picked a fight. Truth is I'm not very good at fights... :grumpy:

:b11: seems to create cutting points unnecessarily. Drawing back accomplishes the same thing, and B can cheerfully respond to the W hane with a counter-hane.

Although I should say, this following fight looks fun for B to me. I look forward to criticism from more experienced players:

Back to the game. B's peep is not awful, but it may be premature. Later on, if the W group comes under attack, :b15: might prove to be the best peep... or it might be at a or b instead. The peep also gives up all the interesting follow-ups that would follow from after a Black play at c.

White pondered a pincer, but that would be absurd. If B tries to save the peeping stone (a mistake), W gets severe moves against the corner. If B sensibly abandons the peeping stone, then W can make a big extension from a solid wall.

White's actual response to the peep was a mistake that shows good fighting spirit. This sort of move is a solid response to a peep that aims to make a weak W group connect in bad shape; W refuses to submit in the way B plans. However, in this case W is not weak and not under attack, so the obstinate response is unnecessary.

This line (above) makes it look like W has exchanged :w6: for :b7:, which not ideal, but is even less of a worry.

However, now that B has his cut and W neither hane'd at a nor set up the ladder at b, W would have been in terrible straits if B had simply cut. W has no way to rescue the marked stones, and all of the black stones are tied together.

Really behind the eightball here. If I extend the group on the right probably throwing good money to bad. There are bigger moves and I am sure the bottom middle star point is the right move. If he runs into my east side I will separate the two territories. I have a feeling that he is going to be defensive on the star point and try to preserve his western moyo. Guessing he will play just to the left of my star point. Iron pillar up if he does and try to run north. If I can run some influence north, I may be able to reduce his influence and territory potential in the center and NE corner. This will leave my SE corner a little more secure and maybe flip the gote chip over to him. Doubtful


I would like to ask if not too late. I have been using a Go editor, simply to run my thoughts out on the board. I have not used any reference (book or database) nor any other input. Simply reading out thoughts. Will this be ok?
