Question about a response to a 2-4 play

Post by aurik »



Hello folks,

I played black in this game. At W75, my opponent walked into the corner with the 2-4 play. In the game I ended up with a terrible result, especially considering my thickness and the fact I started with a 3 stones in the corner to W's one, and he had a reasonably stable but not fully settled group nearby that should have provided a great place to lean for extra thickness. :oops: Not my best day for go.

Was wondering if I missed something obvious. I considered the 3-3 and 3-4 play, but neither looked good at the time. Though, in retrospect, forcing him out to n16 with 3-4 now looks better? Perhaps my error was earlier and I should have played r16 instead of r15?

Thanks for any advice!
Keep in mind, I am frequently wrong.

Try 77 at P18.

I think that 85 at T18 kills.
