GN[A lucky break vs SmartGo]PW[SmartGo]PB[Tammy Cravit]DT[2011-07-27]AB[gc][cg]C[This was a game I played against SmartGo Kifu on my iPad. Although I won the game, the victory took me somewhat by surprise, because I felt like I was on the defensive for most of this game. Comments on what I could have done better are welcome.]RE[B+Resign]PL[W]AU[8 + +]BK[0]CH[1]

;B[de]C[Was D5 the best place to play here? I was thinking about containing white in the upper left, but not sure this play accomplishes that.

---This is okay. Moves like this are not what's going to make or break your game right now.]
;W[cf]
;B[df]LB[de:B][cg:A]C[---Good. Connect your stones A and B.]

;B[dh]C[I think my play at D2 was made with the idea of "drive to the first line" in mind. If so, I'm dubious about how well I pulled it off.

;B[ci]C[I wasn't thinking as clearly as I could here - felt a lot of pressure to try to contain white's expansion. Wondering if I should have just played elsewhere - maybe tried to gain territory at upper left?]

;B[di]C[I am embarrassed to admit that the big capture caught me somewhat by surprise. I understand why white resigned right after this, but I don't feel like I “earned” this victory.])

(;B[dg]TR[cf][eg][ch]C[---Connect your stones. This is a disaster for white. Look how broken and disconnected white's stones are. Look at how few liberties they all have. By contrast, look at how many liberties black has. Black has sliced white to shreds.]))
