well bigdoug got me again on kgs, so i had to switch to igs because of my bad language and sore loser attitude. but i have noticed, the "noob" level on igs, double digit kyu, seem to play a solid clean game relative to the aggressive attacking on kgs at the same rating. anyway heres a game just finished. tips please? especially looking for the first clearly wrong move, something in the opening thats wrong or too small. heres the game:

Some things are much more important than Go.
If a new person comes to our Go club with
these "attributes," I'd ask him to either fix them or leave.
( I did exactly that with a young man who visited our Go club
earlier this summer — he did not have any sore loser problem.
But he listened, and improved his language considerably.
Afterwards, his visit with us was pleasant. )

is a bad idea. Play this at K15 to attack the White group top right, and prepare an attack on the White group on the left side.

Well, you won by 45 points, so I don't know how helpful a review will be. Better to post a game that you lost. But if you're looking for early mistakes, try studying this joseki:
