9k VS 5d

Post by hailthorn011 »

Let me just say, this game was incredible. At least for me. Playing Dan players is, for lack of a better phrase, an experience! Sure it was with a nine stone handicap, but I thought I did far better than I originally thought I would.

It's games like this that make me love Go. And yes, I know I got destroyed. But this was the greatest game I've ever played. I can't wait to become a Dan player and be able to compete with players like this.

Call me crazy! lol :D

Probably 95%+ of your problems are in your basics.
You probably want to remove the comments first. A few ideas: :)

Thanks for the review. I'll be sure to go over this extensively. I feel like I'm right next to a barrier that I'm about to break through and FINALLY achieve 8k.

And looking over the game, you're right. A lot of my issues do seem to be with basic moves.

And next time, I'll be sure to remove the comments. I didn't think about that! lol

This game looked interesting enough that I added a few comments too. They are probably not going to be as useful as Ed's since they are a bit harder to apply in games, but I do think there is another issue worth examining besides basics.

If you have not heard about "aji-keshi", take a look at http://senseis.xmp.net/?AjiKeshi before, during, or after reading my comments.

I don't think I added to any of Ed's variations, but you might want to click through variations you see because I may not have marked them in the beginning of comments.

This is my first time posting an actual sgf, so hopefully it works fine :p
