Defending a moyo (Second Part) 4k vs 4k
Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2017 7:05 am
After some games I reached 4k mainly because my opponents make huge mistake, letting me capture big groups or let me defend big moyos almost without fighting. At least, my last 5-8 games went like this. Maybe the fact that I started solving lots of tsumego everyday in the last 6 months or so would have helped, but still I feel that is strange. So here I played 0.5 komi game against a 4k and I kept sente for almost all the moves. Again I can't understand if I won by luck or if the game was legitimate by both opponents. Hope you wil forgive me if it's the second time I post a victory, but it's a little strange (as I said) that some times ago I had to suffer for winning against a 7k and now I can beat a 4k in an almost even game.

Your opponent played some moves I find not optimal (24, 28, 58, 102) and you took adavantage of them by making your moyo bigger or reducing his territory.
. I'm not sure black should play on the bottom since this area does not sem to have a very high potential and since it enables white to play something like r6 instead of r3 to try and avoid giving black such a big moyo. Of course this does not mean that the result would have been bad for black either.
