Re: PlaySlow
You: I think the middle game fight in the middle and my invasion at R8 could have costed me the game.
KW: your invasion at R8 was perfect
Your soft treatment of his invasion at the bottom made the game even again or perhaps better for Black.
The centre fighting was decisive: as said, try strengthening your weakest stones first in crosscut fights (but read all options too)

Re: PlaySlow
I am playing in Fox Go server since it's pretty much easier to find games and i liked the interface!
Here is my last game, I was white and won by 6.5.

Hi PlaySlow,
Maybe M3 more natural.
Shape problems.
Maybe jump; B cannot wedge.
Maybe unclear which direction is most profitable.
Realize the floating B stones are already a burden for B --
there's no hurry. Tenuki and take a big point;
decide later if/when/how to attack.
( Mostly because it seems the bottom is not very profitable --
so many 3rd like stones already -- how much can you gain there ? )
You induce B to go toward the top, where there's potential.
Why not C8 ?
B7.
D5.
B5.
E17.
Locally, K6 kosumi aims at N6 follow-up.
B gets a local shared point.
Agree with your note; I'd also take 3rd line.
How about N10 ?
Agree with your note; fix your shape directly.
You should've read more ...

Re: PlaySlow
Hello all, I just wanted to inform you about the latest situation about me & go. Since I began my new workplace on August 15th, I have played only one day, 6 games. I have managed to reach 6 kyu but didnot solve any tsumego since that time. Work has been hectic since then.
I'll try to spare some time starting from this week on!

Re: PlaySlow
I am playing and solving problems again this week. This is one of the games i have played on fox go server against a 6 kyu. I have some questions about fighting and direction of play.

Re: PlaySlow
More games and some questions about a game I've won on foxy. I think I've screwed a bit on the joseki on the left bottom.

Re: PlaySlow
Thanks for the great review Knotwilg. Two lessons noted; 1st is I'm too obsessed about shape points and ignore all the other moves when I see a potential tiger's mouth. Second one is to remember playing near to my weakest group in a fight.
