Post subject:  Was this scoring correct?
Hello everyone

I am currently learning go and played a game online. I am not very good at scoring points so I let usually do it my opponent. Anyway, in my most recent game he marked my only group as dead and I do not really agree with that. Can anyone please have a look at the game, and maybe give me some tips to improve my game by the way.

Thank you in advance.

The situation at the end of the game as posted is incomplete. It is not time to score it yet. White still has to play in at 1 to kill the Black group. After this Black plays 2 and 4, ending the game. White wins here. Without this play, Black is not dead. Of course Black should play 1 earlier to make a live group. Alternatively since White passed without playing 1, Black should play 1 at the end of the game and laugh about winning. :D

Also note that as late as move 61 you could play 1 below to capture the marked stone and kill the White corner group.

Thank you, I need to have a closer look at the board as ot seems, that could have been an easy win if I just watched out :(
