Life In 19x19

Hi, thanks in advance for the reviews.

Hi Wellington,

You can jump 1 more, to L3, because of your tiger's mouth at G4.
If solid connect at F4, then at K3 is OK.
( But this is very minor, at these levels. )

It's good to study the basic variations here.
The E14 kosumi is an option ( recently out of favor; still a good move ).
The C17 attach is recently popular.

Yes, the tiger's mouth is better.
Is the ladder good for B or W ?

Not sure about this peep.

Hmm... Currently you have a running fight with the P10 group and P8 group.
...

D7 wedge...

C9 hane; W has no good reply locally.

Did you read C9 or C5 ? Beware of all weaknesses (yours as well as your opponent's ).

Did you read the D7 connect ?

Squeeze starting with D7.

Did you read the D7 connect ?

Thanks Ed Lee for the review, and sorry for the late answers.

Since i was more focused on not letting him get to my territory. And i did a bad job at that, just killed him cause of his mitake(i think). So i didn't really saw the C9 hane or D7 connect.

I will post another game here, i'm playing as White.



Thanks in advance for the review.

Another question. Should i post more games on this topic or creat a topic for each game?

Hi Wellington,

If you start your own thread under Study Journal, you can probably continue to post new games onto that thread.

I think usually for Game Analysis, customarily it's one game per thread.

As a quick note for the second game, at white really should consider capping instead of the shoulder hit. A cap builds white's moyo while shrinking black's, while the shoulder hit drives black into the area white would like to build on. Even at white could consider a hane and sacrifice the original stone to accomplish a similar goal, though at a slight comparative loss.
