Wow, this definitely was more complicated that it looks... Thanks for all the input guys!

I don't know about the situation in the top-right, but you should never let an opponent pressure you into finishing the game if you're uncertain. Even if they say they have to run. If they don't have time for a game, they shouldn't have been playing.

Like I said in my previous post, if I had an eye in the center, I could have played D9 on move 43 and would have two ...

Hi everyone,

I'm new to both Go and this forum. I've been playing for a couple of weeks now, but only a week against humans, and it became clear that playing against bots is not a good idea =). By reviewing my games I see I make lots of mistakes, but some of them I cannot see how I could have done ...
