Disappointing, embarrassing game... enjoy & comment (DDK)

Post by negapesuo »

I felt very good at the beginning of the game, and then made incredibly dumb mistakes at end game. I'm hoping someone could help provide comments to improve my opening and mid game though, since I'm already aware of the obvious mistakes.

Look, laugh at my pain, and enjoy~

I just replied to one of your other games. My comments in that game still apply. Your opening is good. Your middle game is mediocre. You endgame is bad. This is not criticism: it is a common progression for a lot of people. My earlier comments still apply, but I would recommond looking at some endgame problems. You can find them on SL. I will leave it to others to give commentary on individual moves as I am limited for time.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Interesting... your previous comment was exactly right. I studied every conceivable combination of joseki which I'm proved my game, because it was essentially someone else telling me what the best move is. Of course, all of this broke down starting midgame... although I still got some help from all the professional match I replay on my own. End game is just a big giant mess to me... I just go around filling in gaps and holes.

Thank you.

Another gentlemanly game. Develop your fighting spirit. :)

After :b61:, no thought to killing the White corner? With C-03, for instance?
