OGS 3k vs 8k Review Request

Post by lowiq60 »

I recently created an OGS account and I have been having a blast playing on it! In fact I think I might have played like 13 or so games in 24 hours.

I was white in this game. Although I ended up losing by a few points (with 5.5 komi under Chinese rules), I was too unhappy about the outcome. Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

:w34: - :b35: Maybe better to exchange :w36: - :b37: directly...

:w42: - :b43: :scratch:

:w52: ...not sure.

:b65: ...this result for W...not sure.

:w94: Why not cut ?

:white: 122 Locally, maybe o10. D18, S17 big. B8...

:black: 129 B shouldn't get gote. D8, D18, etc.

:white: 136 aji... D18.

:white: 138 N18.

:white: 142 o18 or K18...

:white: 156, :black: 157: :white: 136

:white: 164 B8.

:white: 174 T16.

:white: 206 D6.

Thank you Ed! Yeah looking back at the game, it seems like I went into endgame with a lead, but my endgame really fell apart. About not cutting at w94 - I was uncertain what benefit I would get from continuing attacking the black group, but I saw that I could convert lower right influence into mostly territory if I let black connect -which was why I made the passive move.
