Korean Embassy Cup game (9k)

Post by Mnemonic »

This was the most interesting game I played last weekend at the Korean Embassy Cup in Berlin. My opponent lost on time (Yes, I was cheap enough to take the win but it would have been fun to play it to the end) I briefly showed it to a 3k friend of mine and he said that the game was extremely close, what do you think?

This was also the first 19x19 game that I could remember after I played it :shock: Maybe I'm not that bad at go after all.
(I'm white btw)

Thanks to everyone that comments :mrgreen:

Here's my take. The game seems pretty well played by both of you, but I think you should have placed more value in connecting your two groups along the top (which I touch on plenty of times :P )

We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

Thanks Dusk Eagle! Yeah I suppose I got luck in the top left corner :D Didn't know that G16 represented such a weakness (show's what I know) It's just that the slide confused the heck out of me. When taking the 33 in the corner I was afraid of a double approach but I think I was just hallucinating :cry:
