hm, I was focusing on the top right, and I suck at life and death really bad so I would probably messed it up badly. I will keep it in mind though thanks.

80 Tsumego graded go problems volume 3 done got 23 wrong :sad:
1 game against leela zero done suffered a crushing defeat again though.
replay 5 games of alphago kifu done I am now using alphago zero and alphago master's opening.
did 5 games against human but lost 4 won 1 :evil:

As for attack and defense. I already went through half the book. as for tesuji I haven't got it yet.

Here's the game I won. I was black I made mistakes in the middle game thus white got ahead however white made a series of bad mistakes and I exploited them thus I managed to win :D

Yes, you made a series of mistakes like:

:b67: would be better at B5 (makes life by ko with B5 B4 B9 B10 A8 A5 A6).

:b73: useless (doesn't make an eye and wastes a ko threat).

:b79: even worse. Doesn't make an eye, removes a liberty and wastes a ko threat.

:b81: doesn't make an eye and wastes a ko threat.

:b83: ditto

:b91: you die in gote (but fortunately for you, White makes a useless move :w92:).

You made an empty triangle again (move 157).

Fortunately, the subsequent fight went much better and you were successful at killing a large group, congratulations!

Thanks for the advice, 73 I knew it was a mistake as soon as I played it :/
same with 79 and 81.

Completed graded go problems volume 3. So I am currently doing 1001 L&D
did 1 game against leela zero and just got crushed again I am starting to doubt if it's even doing anything :sad:

replayed 5 games of alphago kifu.

did 5 games against human won 3, lost 2.

Went through all of attack and defense.

Here are two games I lost 1 I won 1. my opponent in my second game which I lost played strangely and it confused me as he opened at tengen then 3-4 :oops: I also made quite abit mistakes thanks to me not knowing how to play after tengen even though I open at it sometimes...

You didn't lose the game because of the tengen, but because you didn't protect when White threatened with :w98: to cut at K15.

Had this game at a club. my opponent was 13 kyu but I beat him so I am starting to doubt whether it was just a fluke or I am not acutally 15kyu. I was black.

Looks like an early resign, he should have tried to kill M13 and/or played B12 to kill G16, but overall you seemed to outplay your opponent.

Did 421 problems of 1001 Life and Death problems got 37 wrong but Overall I think my reading is improving a tiny bit.

did 1 game against leela zero put up a very tiny match but still did better than I did before I've started reviewing my games I lose against leela zero but thanks to my very poor reviewing skills I can't really spot mistakes...

Replayed 5 alphago games. they seem to be helping me alot so I am going to do 10 replays of alphago from now on.

did 5 games against humans I'd say I am about 13 or at least 14 kyu now.

Going through Lee chang ho selected tesuji problems vol 1 and am going through Attack and defense again.

Did 1 game against leela zero am doing abit better than last time but still got crushed overall.

That's a lot better than most DDK can do. This most recent game is also higher than that level. Well done. Consider creating a new account.

At B103, why peep when you can cut at K3?

I try to avoid cuts as much as I can because I am not good with cuts. I went with a peep because I thought it would be better from my point of view. :D Most of them moves were by instinct except the middle game.

Remarkable progress. If I counted correctly, in your last game you were behind by no more than 10 points.

Could you analyze Attack & Defence with LZ? That's high on my to-do-list.

Considering the speed and the number of right answers concerning 1001 L&D, GGPB 3 & 4, I highly doubt you were beginner/17 kyu just 5 days ago :) I think you underestimated yourself there.
Your performances at those L&D are SDK level, and I think even a strong SDK at that.
I'm bad at guessing a level seeing a game, but your play doesn't remind me of typical 15 kyus either. So you're making quick progress, but - like I said - I don't think you were 17 kyu, unless you're gaining one stone strength a day.

Quite a dedication, though, congratulations. You must be spending a lot of time studying, and it's certainly paying off, seems like!
