Review request, after a long break

Post by Ophitoxaemia »

Got interested in Go again after many, many years. I'm black here trying to remember what to do. Thanks for any advice!

Hi Ophi,

:b51: Seems N17 is much bigger.

:b53: Still N17. :)

:b55: Before this, you still have N17 and Q18 sente first. :)

:b61: Same as :b55: .

:b63: Last chance to get N17 and Q18 first.

Oh good heavens, yes of course N17! I was fixated on cutting off the hane at L16 and totally missed that. Thanks!

Just a question - is my DDK intuition completely just little off if I'd want to play :b35: (or even as early as :b31:) somewhere around D10-D11 instead?

That white wall scares me.

The left side was undercut from the top, so potential of the white wall is limited unless it gets to attack something.

The 3-3 invasion is usually sente, so if white blocked the other way you still the choice of where to defend/expand.

What I was thinking, anyway.
