Hi all,
In this game I was literally destroyed (I am white) in a quick game. I usually play at least a "not-so-bad opening" but in this case I was completely outplayed since the very beginning, and when my opponent made the last invasion I felt disgusted of my poor defence.

Hi Maria,

:w26: Maybe slow. Options: Q11, R11, etc.

:w28: Ditto. ( The :white: top cannot compete with the :black: right side. )

:b33: Now :white: has to work much harder than before this stone.

:w36: Feels heavy ( unless extensive reading shows :white: OK here )
Another candidate: N11 -- Sabaki.

:b39: Maybe Q13 more severe.

:w40: Again, seems slow and heavy ( unless reading shows :white: OK )
Feeling: Sabaki. Candidates: N11, N12, M12, etc.

:b41: M12, etc.

:b45: Almost a pass ?

:w62: Not so good. Imagine :white: takes H3 instead ( re: :w70: ).

( :w60:, :w62: ) combination: inefficient(?); better o3 directly, with 1 move.

:w68: If no severe attack on :black:, another option is simply H3. ( re: :w62: )

:w70: F3. ( Re: your own notes. )

Not exactly: maybe a few moments missing the big picture --
:w6:, :w10: Option: R17 ? (*)
:w16: Option: P17 variation ? (*)
:w26:, :w28: Feels slow. Q11, R11 area feels urgent. (*)
:b47: Seems :black: made mistakes between :b33: and here:
now the two N10 :black: stones are floating. (*)

The passion is nice; a positive direction to channel the negative feelings: the :b67: local situation is not an isolated shape; it occurs occasionally -- good to study how to handle it under various boards. If :w68: at H3 works, then :b67: becomes just a reduction.

(*) Curious about Leela's evaluations.
