Post subject:  Failing to use my influence...
I've had several games recently where I thought my position looked beautiful after the opening, but I ended up letting my advantage slip away. Basically, I don't use walls effectively.

If any players have advice on where I should have been playing differently, I would really appreciate it. W130 and W134 are the really tragic moves, where I fail to kill a large black group, but I think I must have missed a lot of other opportunities to pressure black before that, and I squandered opportunities on the left and lower left, too.

Thanks!

Actually, you do use walls quite well for a 9K. You pushed him toward your wall and almost killed him. Your shortcoming is in eye-killing. You almost got him. All you have to do is play 134 at A15.

Or better yet pass at move 134, since B is already dead :)

Aaaaaaaah! You're right, Mitsun. When I read that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. :D
