Should I continue playing after this mistake?

Post by AVAVT »



Hi everybody,
In the game above, I made a pretty terrible mistake at :w82:
After that the cutting stones are dead and I think I've already lost. But it's been awhile since I had a chance to play so I at least try to turn the table if possible. It didn't go well enough I suppose.
In your opinion, should I continue playing after :b86:? Looking back I think I should have resigned after this.

If you think the game is still playable, I'd really appreciate pointer (directions) for things I should have made in later moves. But of course comment for any part of the game is welcome :)

Black has indeed lost and should resign. Good way to think about it. :tmbup:
Playing another game would be more to the point than dragging this one out.
