A game where I ran out of time
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 9:54 pm
I ran out of time this game but I should have won. I have some comments below too.
Move:
8: This didn't really feel like a good approach but I felt like black was building up a lot of territory and I needed to do something. I wanted to attack the bottom side because I had a stone at Q10 and and the approach at C4 looked good, so I approached from the left and followed with move 10.
9: Definitely not the best move.
12: Playing at D5 doesn't look very good and I also wanted to destroy the bottom side. Additionally, this move felt like I was trying to connect to C6 so I thought he would play somewhere to secure the stone, allowing me to keep up my attack on the bottom.
19: I got lucky my opponent didn't play at D6
22: Felt a little premature because my stones were kind of thin but if I didn't keep up the attack I would have wasted the last 15 moves.
37: M3 seems better
37-49: Good sequence by my opponent. I didn't play too well and just tried to salvage what I could of the situation. I also should have played because it was sente.
52: That cut looked scary!
68: Should have played N2
76: Works but it was actually a misclick I meant to make a san ren sei
78: Maybe E14 was better? I thought if I played there though that he would invade my top right away.So, I put some pressure on his stone by pincering.
86: Didn't initially plan to save this stone but it was begging to be saved.
90: These stones aren't really that important for me. I'm really low on actual territory so I wanted to start getting more real territory!!!
By the end the middle groups should be seki so I believe that would put me on top if I didn't run out of time.
