11kyu vs 12 kyu
Posted: Wed May 16, 2018 7:38 am
This is a game I played today. Overall, I am rather happy with the game, I had good prospects and cashed in on a big middle territory. While my opponent was making one space jumps into neutral territory, I was making points with every jump.
However, I also feel like maybe I lacked sharpness in this game (and in my game in general).
It'd be very helpful to me if someone could point at some instances where, how and why I could play to gain a bit more sharpness in my play.
My summary of the game (correct me if I'm wrong!);
Black goes for influence quite early in the game and stays consistent in his strategy. White helps black build his moyo by not attacking severely enough, nor reducing it strongly.
White makes a few slow moves in the opening/middle game, from which black profits to gain.
Black plays a bad endgame and loses quite some points.
Additional comments (comments in the file are in Dutch. Analysed it for my Sensei):
- Move 129 should be at F3 for better effect. I play E7 because I read out the variation. Of course, white answers properly.
- Is move 25 a good one in this situation? Or better to play O3 or something?
Thanks for any suggestions!
