Requesting analysis on a close game

negapesuo · #1

Here is a game that I just wrapped up. Please provide a general analysis of the game on where either player lost out on big point moves.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi negapesuo,

Were you B or W ?

Hi negapesuo,

:w38:

You let W connect back because you missed :b35:

at D3 directly.

:b41:

You go after unimportant stones ( :white:

P13,Q13 ). Why ?
Are :white:

(P13,Q13) cutting stones ?

Can

P13 make a lot of territory ?

Can

P13 easily make a lot of power ?

Are

(P13,Q13) worth a lot of points ?

(

and

are similar problems. )

:b49:

F5/F6.

Follow-itis!! F18!

:b69:

Very small. C17 much bigger.

:b71:

Very small, almost a pass.

:b73:

Very small, slow.

:b75:

Small.

Very small, almost a pass.

:b96:

Bad exchange for B. This helps W.
Without this exchange, your push at H6 is better.

Small, slow, or unnecessary moves: :b21:

During 69 -77, what others moves are bigger? Perhaps reduction at k5? I honestly didn't know and just tried to surround territories.
