Life In 19x19

Here's a game I just finished playing! Do you guys think you could look it over for me? I played white. I think I played pretty solidly, but I tended to play slow moves. Move 38 in particular I think was a mistake. K3 seems to be a better move in that scenario. I was neglectful to my upper left group for too long, and probably deserved to have that die. Thanks in advance

How to get the SGF here ?

Here is the sgf:


Quick remarks:

is better at C5. If Black responds with D6, then at F4 or F3.

reinforces Black, and in addition, after , you are surrounded, which is bad. should be used to split Black into two groups, for instance with D6.

good! Black is surrounded and Black has to live in gote. (Edit: but there was a better move, see Bill Spight's comment below.)

maybe not urgent at this point, since you are almost alive. at P14 would give you more territory (expands your territory while reducing Black's).

Go to and for life and death comments.

Thanks for your replies! Go is very hard

Another one from me.

Lesson to learn from your game: if the enemy seems to play overly aggressively, then play where the enemy neglected to play.

Just one quick comment.
:black:117 is a big mistake, and you didn't have to connect. Instead, White could have cut on the second line for a large reduction. Black can't cut at S14, because after White captures, Black descends, and White fills in, White has 3 liberties vs. Black's 2 liberties.
