Can't seem to win... please review

Post by negapesuo »

Played without komi, so the game was not very close... I'm not sure what my biggest problem is in my game. Please review.

Top of the head comments. ;)

:b22: Probably better to stand at O-04.

:b24: Maybe a high double approach at D-06.

:w25: Wrong side. C-04.

:b34: Better at G-16, because of White's push and cut, starting with G-16. Then Black cannot afford to block at H-16.

:b38: Wrong side. R-16.

:b46: Probably better at D-06 or C-14.

:b50: Locally, the keima at O-09 looks better.

:b52: interesting idea.

:b60: Maybe too early to talk about the game losing move, but this is too small. Think big. Attack big. L-12 is a standout.

:b68: Think big. Attack big. K-10. This play also bolsters the G-10 stone and reduces White's potential in the center.

:b70: Why?

:b72: Strengthens White to no purpose.

:b74: Small.

:b78: and the following plays weaken the G-10 stone. Better to sacrifice the C-14 stone, if necessary, strengthen Black's center, and reduce White's huge moyo.

Main focus: Think big. Attack big.
