Myself and Skydyr

Post by Boidhre »

Skydyr suggested we post this up for a few comments, I'm putting here rather than my journal as we both would like a few comments if people were willing. I was very tired playing this game and it's my first game back in a long time so I made some terrible misreads.

:b90: - Just connect at E7. Look and you'll see you'll either connect up to G8 or F4.

:b100: - Connect at D5. Your outside group has four liberties, his has three. He will die.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

12: Very good, quite an important point for both.
18: Finish off the LR corner. If it comes under heavy attack, that's a huge headache. The move you played is big, but if you want sente to play there, try R6 instead.
20: This induces W to jump up and surround B, doesn't it?
48: This is very big, but remember that getting sente to return to p10 should be one of your top priorities.
54: My instinct is to play p10. Let W start a silly ko if he wants to.
55, 57: I'm not sure why W isn't fighting the ko, and using the extensions as local ko threats. At the very least, get B to burn some aji!
62: Call me crazy, but I would still play p10.
66: I think f5 works better. (I still like drawing back to f5 for 68)
70-82: Not sure what we're aiming at. These moves seem to have strengthened W.
100: Just connect the ko.
102: :(
118: Good

From black 104 until black 260, white could cut at C4 and start a ko for the two black stones. After white 197, it's even worse for black. The sequence is White C4; B4, C3; B3, D3.

Yeah, that happened in the original tree and black lost the group outright, so we backed out of it to count.
