moyo game

Post by speedchase »

I played a moyo game today. I won, but I felt like I was moving around in the dark.
Here is the game:

I made a few comments, but I think there are more lessons for black than for white. The game is lost because black plays many small moves to defend a small number of points of his moyo, but makes the classic mistake of not remembering that a white reduction may build white a moyo of his own. Instead, black should remember that the value of a moyo is in the fighting, and give up territory whilst attacking white's reductions and destroying white's side territory.

Just a little comment:)

move 18: I don't like the proposed H16, feels heavy and slow. White must move out faster and the shape point looks like H15 to me.

move 75: B7.
