Life In 19x19

Hello Fellows.

First Post in this forum,so maybe its better not asking a question but puttin something in. Good that i did a Game-Analysis of my own today, so i can also try out to handle the sgf attachement.

This was 20 minute thing on Wbaduk, and also the first game i played as an 8kyu there, normally i blitz around 11 or 12 kyu, but the rating goes up and down often, maybe because Im stronger in person (3kyu at my local German Go club) and often lose through outright blunders, These often come through overplays i just want to bring to working by sheer will, although i know they can't. Greed maybe. Also in this game, in which the devil took me 2 times. The first time my opponent didnt want to punish me. I dont know why, and the second time i think it was all psychologically. He maybe thought. " If this idiot doesnt see the right move now, why should he see it the next move." But there was a slight inconsequence in my failure, so i won. See yourself.

Quick comment, 211 is not right, can you see why?

@ EdLee, Thanks for the comments.

with the exchange at the beginning you re sure right, om no good at opening theory / joseki valueing.

but the attack i saw diefferent, cause i believed i had an gote eye on the side wit s13, thats why i didnt see it as attack that hard. or rather put it that way: my group easier to defend . I didnt really read it out then, was a mere guessing, but now i come to no different conclusion.



Even if there is that eye, there is the choice between defending the group first or extending on the other side. I wanted territory and i like fighting games (even if i lose them).

That's OK to want territory and to enjoy fighting.
If you reply to at Q12, (1) you keep your territory on the right, (2) you don't have a weak group, and (3) W has to fix the weakness at Q15.
In the game, (1) you lose your territory on the right, (2) you make a weak group for yourself, and (3) W does not have a weakness at Q15.
