Hi PlaySlow,  Very small, very slow. slow, small. strange. Two vital points here: R8 and Q9.Probably just block at Q9 first.  Soft. Hane N8. ,  not good. Maybe turn N8, still big. C3 ? W has these bad habits ( , ). You've pushed this far, why stop now; push one more, G16;then F15 -- try to completely close W, if possible.  -  bad exchange, bad habit. See . Play here directly; don't do the exchange - . Have to read forever here...  Did you also read K9 attach or N8 turn ?  Did you read the cut L9, or the clamp M8 ? -  Locally, this shape is a disaster for Black. Classic toothpaste . Did you read the atari M5 ?Did you think about killing M6 or Q5, or both ?  Did you read the atari M5 ? Did you read M7 ? Pass ?? To reduce his eyespace,did you read P7 push or S8 hane ?  Did you read S7 clamp ? You already forced W to live with  ; what are you still doing here ?Tenuki; C3, etc.  107 Why. So small, so slow; not looking at the whole board.Curious if Mr. Yoda's new book may have something to say about this move. posts 9-43+ .  110 small; also missing the big picture. C3 huge. 115 - 116 No awareness of broken shapes. You must study toothpaste . 169 Die in gote.

Black has built up a nice lead in the opening, mainly as a result of White making small life on the right side. That being the case, there is an argument for simply securing territory with, say,  . But Black still has concerns about his group on the left side and a possible invasion on the bottom side.My first thought is , which not only attacks  , but bolsters the bottom side. Now if  ,  continues the attack and actually starts to build a framework with the Black stones on the bottom. Your attack should work out, as well.  But, reading errors aside, it was too single-minded. Once you did not contain White, you doggedly tried to hang on to as much of your territory as possible.As a result, White made territory on the bottom as well as reducing Black's large framework. IMO, White has the edge now. |

Thank you all for your comments. I will study thorugh the stuff you have suggested. Edlee, i demoralized after not answering the reduction properly and didnt read throughly. I should work on playing the game calmer and use my time to think.. If i made some serious mistake in mid or early game, sometimes i stop to read and play intuitively only.. And that does not help improving. |

Quote: demoralized (From another recent thread, post 57):Quote: the game is completely won for Black Yes, human emotions and psychological factors can make a big difference. One nice lesson from Go is to learn to see reality as it is, to see nature as it is -- no more, no less. Over-confidence, self-distrust, arrogance, insecurity, over-estimating ourselves, under-estimating the opponent, etc... can impact the game (and our life) .
