Game Review Please

Post by Uzziel »

I found it to be a really interesting, fun, and exciting game. :blackeye: Hopefully my opponent felt the same.

Would be great to have comments, and reviews. I know that the game was lost at move 26, but I tried to see if I could defend, and maybe come to an end game. Wasn't possible however... :-|

Thanks!

I think at move 7, black should take the last corner at the 3-3 point.

At move 9, I think it's still open, and black has the peep at G4 he might be able to exploit to stabilise his group.

At move 19, black can sacrifice those two stones with a move at D8, but black can no longer overcome the komi. In the sequence following, black doesn't ever have enough room to live with those cutting stones, so anything black tries to do to save them hurts his territory on the left side.

Maybe your first move at 4-4 is inferior. If you want to play for influence 5-4 standing in two corners is more interesting. IMHO!

I was thinking maybe my second move was very weak as it limited my territory early on which caused what happened because I lost my first move advantage as black.
