Operation Overboard [Game #5]

[Ian Butler]

We try to keep learning how to fight.
This game, I admit, was rather passive fightning. Only one real (running) fight occured in the game, but that fight is where I got most of my "profit" from, rather reduction of white's territory.
Still, for a fighting account, where I mainly want to learn to fight, this was perhaps too territory-oriented and not aggressive enough. You could help me by pointing at spots where I could've played much more aggressive. But I have a feeling not every game has as many chances to play aggressively. Perhaps I am wrong.


I think I lose because of some rather slow plays, that I should really unlearn at this level. Some of my moves are almost a pass and at the SDK level, you can't do that anymore. so definitely something to keep an eye on.

Other than that, it was a very fun game. I already knew it was gonna be great after four moves. See for yourselves!

Some comments.



White played thickly and did not give Black many chances to attack. Black should have cut off White's top right group earlier.
