I think there is a tesuji you will learn from this review.

Hey guys! I just had my highest ranked win, beating a 9k! It was a super close game–I won by 5.5. Was wondering if you guys could review it for me. I played black in this game.I'm curious what rank you guys think I am, as I have a pretty big discrepancy across servers.

Here's a game I just finished playing! Do you guys think you could look it over for me? I played white. I think I played pretty solidly, but I tended to play slow moves. Move 38 in particular I think was a mistake. K3 seems to be a better move in that ...

Can someone explain how to tell where I should throw in/when to throw in? I hear players talk about it all the time, and I always have a hard time understanding when I should go for it in my games.

I just started playing on KGS, and I managed to beat an 11k! I think I played pretty well, except I REALLY dropped the ball w/ that monkey jump invasion. I played black. Could someone give me a few tips?

What do you mean?

Hey! I have a lot of down time at work today. What are some videos that you would recommend for an OGS 13k to watch in order for me to learn the most with my time? I want to improve my Go as much as possible today! Thanks so much, and happy New Year!

I think I did pretty well until near the end when I let him live too big in the center. The game definitely went better than expected!

The score estimator was making me paranoid Not a good reason, no.

I almost beat someone a few ranks above me! Was an exciting game, for sure.



EDIT: Our ranks are incorrect on the SGF. I'm 15k and they're 11 kyu.

Thanks for the info as B, and the sgf link.

You want to copy & paste the SGF text exactly in between [SGF] tags.

Got it!

Welcome.

( Not seeing an easy way to get the SGF over here, on iOS... )
Also, were you B or W ?

Sorry, I'm not sure exactly how to post it I'm black.

Hey everyone! I haven't played many games on this server so I think I might be a little stronger than 17k. I just got finished playing this game and I think it's the best I've ever played. I've been doing more tsumego than ever and I feel like something has clicked recently. Do you think you could ...
