Me vs. 11k

Post by hailthorn011 »

Hello, it's me again. I haven't posted a game in awhile, so I figured I'd post this one. I've recognized quite a few of the mistakes, especially mistakes that cost me the game, like not saving that L14 group when I should have. I feel like this is a game I should have won....

It was actually a very enjoyable game despite the fact that I lost.

Moves 31 and 33 ( and maybe 29 ) were way too small. Something like G16 would have been bigger.
By move 33 your stones are way over-concentrated.

41: Just play the honte move at H16. Not only does it patch your weakness, but it attacks without touching.

That's a clever invasion over in the lower left. :clap: But it went awry. At move 83 ( or 85 or even 87 ) you could have pushed through at D9

95-103: This is way too deep. It will almost certainly die. { EDIT: ok, you lived. But only due to his poor attacking play. }

128: He should just play J12, and you are doomed.


Overall, you are compromising your stones by playing too close to strong formations - both his and yours. Playing too close to your own is inefficient; playing too close to his is dangerous.
