White 114: there is no reason to take these stones right away they are already yours. Instead you can save your stone at F5 from atari.

White 164: Why not just capture at L3? that would be worth more points. and your stones would be safe.

White 280: Here is another example of catching the stones too soon. They aren't threatening anything so it's as if you just passed and gave your opponent a free move.

White 278: this is the perfect example of when to catch stones. If you don't catch them your stones will die. But by catching them you save your own stones.

Thanks for comments! Are you sure White 280 was a bad move? I wanted to secure that left group. I understand why the rest of my moves in my territory there were bad though.


apologies. 280 was a good move.
I can't remember which move i meant instead....

edit: ah yes that's correct 260.
