Re: Kodeys Study Journal

So I haven't played much recently as I have had lots of other stuff going on so I don't have any games to post but I should have some next week. I thought I would post a short update.

Last week I went to a go club for the first time. I got to play a couple of games and everyone was really friendly ...

Re: Kodeys Study Journal



The game starts making sense long after the opening, as has been pointed out; but don't worry too much about that right now.

I have a couple of reading questions for you.

(1) White 122 fails to kill your group. How should White have played? (More than one correct answer, but one is a proverb ...

Re: Kodeys Study Journal

Hi Knotwig Thanks for the reply. I don't think you are being harsh. I would prefer people point that out now so I improve my techniques sooner so I can get better.

So at should I have played at P4 to protect against the threat?

Thanks for the advice. I haven't really played much on 9x9 boards. I ...

Re: Kodeys Study Journal

So this is a game I played the other day, it was a correspondence match on OGS. I'm playing black and I win by 4.5.
I think my opening could definitely be improved

Re: Kodeys Study Journal

Thanks. I originally learnt to play go around 7 years ago when I was 12 but I never really played much because I had no one to play against. It wasn't until the last year that I have really been playing and even that hasn't been all to frequent. As for number of games played, I think I have around ...

Re: Kodeys Study Journal

So this is the first game I'm going to post, mostly so I can figure out how to put sgf files into posts. Its from a couple of weeks ago but it is the last game that I have played that has been really close, most of the games I have played since then were won/lost by larger margins or were resigned ...

Kodeys Study Journal

Hi

I learnt to play go many years ago but have never stuck with it for more than a few months each time I play for various reasons but mostly due to lack of opponents when I didn't have a reliable way to access any servers.
Over the last few months I started playing correspondence games and that ...

Re: 20k-15k was white right to resign?

Thanks for all the responses guys

Looking at :b29: I think I should have instead played at N18 or N19.
Having made the mistake at :b29: I think I should have played at N18 in response to :w30: .
Is this correct?

20k-15k was white right to resign?

I was playing in a tournament on OGS today and was a bit confused about one of my games. I was playing this game as black and white resigned. I thought it was too early for them to resign and I thought that white was likely to win.
Should white have resigned? Also any other analysis is welcome ...

I have an app with problems on my phone by I sometimes get frustrated and start clicking anywhere to guess the answer which I need to stop doing, probably by actually playing through them.

Re: Hi

Thanks everyone

At the moment I am mostly just playing as many games as I can. I'm loosing most of them but thats because several people on KGS started a ranked game with me and then resigned after about 5 moves so my grade got pushed up to 8k so when I play people better than me, it may give them ...
