Two games against COSUMI software.

Today I played two games against COSUMI.net . I have lost many games against this program on 13x13, even at level 1. Today, I won for the first time in a long while. (And I lost right after that

) Much obliged in advance for your kind commentary.
This is the first game. The invasion at the bottom is what allowed me to win the game; one common mistake of mine is letting my opponent get a big moyo.

And the second. I apparently did not do well in the endgame and let White reduce Black's moyo early on.

Hey, you have quite a few chances to kill the lower left group in the first game. It's a pity that you let it live.

There's an issue with efficiency.

might be OK: I think it is smaller than playing on the lower side. But spending another play actually taking the stone is not OK.

is small. Definitely bigger to close the lower right corner.

If you have to play here,

doesn't look right.

There is a vital point of eye shape on the right side.

Black plays numerous stones in the centre, gets nothing much but "safety" for strong stones.

Forced? No, and Black could break through on the upper left side.

Sets White a reading problem. Does the diagonal connection on the first line work?

The answer is "no", so this isn't needed.

Nor is this.
So you captured stones, too slowly.
