8k game

Post by Henning W. »

Hello everyone, please have a look on a game recently played. I played b, time setting was 10 minutes plus 5x30 sec. Somehow I'm under the impression that I missed some chances - but where? Thank you for your help, cheers Henning

Hi Henning,

:b19: Seems good for B up to here...

:b25: I wonder if B can do better than this jump.
It'd be nice if a pincer is OK here ( say, R13 direction ).

:b31: R12 ?

:w32: Somehow B ends up with an unsettled group, running by itself. I wonder if B could've done better up to here.

:b43: C3 ?

:b47: Doesn't feel right. E10 ? F9 ?

:b57: E10.

:w58: Seems unbearable.

:w60: Seems W got away with murder.

:b65: P7 or Q6 ?

:b71: S7.

:b75: S18.

:b95: o13 ?

:black: 105 N13

:black: 113 N13 directly, or H17.

:black: 121 E2.

:black: 123 Too slow; verify no cut there. E2.

:black: 139 C8.

:black: 173 L18.

Overall impressions: soft ( not severe ), missed opponent's weaknesses,
follow-itis ( Bill's term ).
