i played a decent game overall i think, but defending the moyo in KO was probably the worst thing i did in this particular game

I was confident around the midgame, that i was far ahead and in the end i should had won the game i think.

Maybe somebody can relete to the KO issue in the midgame ...

This is a Korean book, but it's out of stock in Korea, so it's hard to find. there are occasional second-hand deals, but only in Korea. I don't have it either. sorry.

This is art. pretty good. top of my collection.

Then Black can't capture the marked stones, so the push and cut is considered as bad for Black.
Yes. you are right. I was looking wrong.
Thanks.
