Life In 19x19

As someone who played a fair bit of league back in highschool I remember the game to much much more punishing due to the way how the game is designed. If any team member gets a couple of kills in the opening then they've got a very clear advantage in higher stats which can make a huge difference ...

To be fair, by move 143 my estimation of the point count says white is leading by roughly 10 points. (To be fair, black's thickness around D14 is probably worth at least that so the game is still relatively even.)

I think the big mistake is one of direction by pushing M7 into his own stones instead ...
