Life In 19x19

My last game, i'm playing as White. I'm on a little slump right now, always doing some bad mistakes. So i decide to change things a little in my games, i noticed that in most of my games i tend to try to play more for influence and the center. I wasn't doing that on purpose but now i'm trying to make that a part of my game. Any tips and criticism will be well recived.

Thanks in advance.

Hope it helps!

Hi Wellington,

Not a good combination with his 2 existing keima stones ( & ).
( J17 is one joseki move for B; not here. See . )

You help him fix his shape ( see above ).

Joseki ( re: , ).

If you want to build a wall here, first peep D8, then D6.

If you push here, you'd better have a plan to cut.
Proverb: push-and-cut. Let's see if you cut afterwards...

...Nope. If you don't plan to cut, or if the cut is bad for you,
then don't push with -- the net result here is
you reduced your own liberties.

Mistake.

Can you find a better sequence for W ? , Same problem as above. ( Re: , . )
In other words, your plan should be to push through with at B11.
Otherwise, your exchange of - only reduced your own liberties. ( Re: , . )

Why.

Not the right feeling for this shape. H11.

J10. Take.

If you had simply captured the 2 stones with , this move would not be an atari.

112 Just M13.
