A war of mistake-attrition. 14k-17k? vs. 15k

Post by AshKanenald »

I'm not sure my exact rank, I'm kind of re-climbing the ladder in IGS. I'm white in this game.

Just from quickly looking over this game myself, I see that I have a tendency to follow my opponent around instead of ignoring him. This game also features some beautiful attack-blindness by myself, which fortunately didn't ruin me. I only really won because my opponent didn't pick up on weakness I left behind when following him.



Obviously, being a DDK, I have a lot more bad habits to work on. This is a pretty typical game for me; can anyone else spot any areas I should prioritize for improvement?

:b5: well.. Q10 or R10 is more common.. with p10 you are on 6th line and invading is simply too easy.

:b17: too early for 3-3 (ready more books on san-san invasion)

:b25: see the correct joseki for 3-3 invasion

:b37: r4 or simply p4 would be enough.. what you played created a lot of cutting points in your own shape.

:b49: again... better ways of invading that side.. since it is empty 3-3 invasions give good wall to opponent.

:b61: playing on 3rd line would maybe be better. influence is not needed that much since white has weak walls that have a lot of aji.

Thank you for looking at the game! Sorry, I forgot to note that I was white here. I just edited post to clarify.

I definitely had weak walls everywhere, but wasn't sure how else to respond to various stuff black tried.

My comments go through move 36 - I didn't have time to look at more.
