Life In 19x19

Posted: **Wed May 04, 2011 10:23 pm**

Despite ultimately getting destroyed, I really enjoyed this game. I should have saved H7 when I had the chance. I knew that group was in danger the whole time. But I didn't and it was killed. Still, even if it was saved I think the game was W's to win anyway.

Any suggestions?

Still a bit fast (10 secs/move). Still have problems with basic broken shapes ( :b13:

).

Thank you for the insight. I tried to play a little bit slower than I normally play. I guess it's still a skill I need to work on, but I do think this game shows I am improving, at least slightly.

Time to review! ...Again. lol
