Life In 19x19

Hey!

I played a close game today, where the winner was (most likely) decided in the endgame.
I've already reviewed a bit with Leela and I understand the game was probably lost in the endgame. Still, hoping to hear some more comments from humans
Always eager to improve, so any help is appreciated!

Cheers!

At move 23, you say you do not like the A-B exchange. But would that really be bad? W would end up with 6 stones along the right side of the board, surrounding a total of only around 20 points. That seems hardly worth preventing. Most important, you would end up with sente, which is quite important now, given the unsettled lower left corner.

A few top of the head comments.

Maybe premature. How about approaching the bottom left corner from the right?

Looks slow.

Black has a mild form of overconcentration, caused by the last three moves.

Yes, jealous or greedy.

Safety????? In relatively close quarters it's four to one. Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly. Who's the spider and who's the fly here?

Yes, this invasion looks premature.

The uppercut is one to remember.

Better than the one space jump?

Wilcox agrees with Leela. Break the sector line.

Not sure this is better than Q-06 right away.

Maybe D-13? weakens this stone. But if D-13 - C-13, Black can follow up with D-11 or maybe E-11.

Feels like a Black failure. White has erased more than Black, eh?

:b119: Maybe better to attack in the center and force White to come back and make a one point eye.
