Why should I put more effort into thinking about your game than you can be bothered to?

Putting a game up for review puts you in no obligation to review it, so this is needlessly catty. I'm not even the OP, but this sort of comment is a net negative on the civility of this forum.

You like your position after your w30? 10 stones taking some third line territory on the upperside, 4 stones in the bottom left radiating influence towards black strength. Compare this with the superior shape of b's stones. So yeah, P5 was premature. But to be honest I doubt the whole w strategy allowing b lines along top and the right.
Black seems to me a quite strong player but he could have ended the game at 121@O5 ( if my reading is correct ). Though I agree with Redundant I also agree with Uberdude that spending some time to think won't harm. Just imagine him thinking about his next move in his Malkovitsch game against Magicwand if you need some inspiration.

A few comments.



Edit: Added variation for .

I think that given the huge amount of support that Uberdude gives to players who ask for help, in reviews and otherwise, he could post compromising photos of your mother and still be a net positive to the civility of this forum.

That's no excuse to be antagonistic to someone posting for help. He could have just said politely that Noskill should take longer, but instead posted what he did. There's no excuse to be rude. Ever. This forum has a disturbing habit of allowing its celebrities to get away with being downright rude at times, but that's another topic.

....... Please dont try to review a game of someone 5 stones stronger than you

I don't hide that I am 7 kyu. So feel free to skip or ignore my comments or indicate you don't want them from the beginning.
I didn't see you were 1 dan. It was not in the game information and you are not known at KGS.
I should have stayed out of that time discussion. Sorry for that.
But I really don't like your position after w30. After reading Spight's comments I understood better what caused it's inferiority. Though 20 and 22 seemed suspicious to me as did the joseki in the upperright.
Even if I didn't find the killing move in the bottom right it is obvious your invasion at the right is an uphill fight probably chosen because you felt behind. But, sure, my insights are of doubtfull value. Better so?

A 4D can probably review my game in 10 minutes including DL and UL... so I also don't see why uberdude says "take the time to review your game" when it won't hardly take anytime.

Uberdude is annoying to me and im going to censor him as all he does is talk big and be useless.

I would have no problem with uberdude still if he would admit he messes up but several times he has posted things basically saying he wasnt going to help in threads ive made.

Just attach at c17 and play a normal joseki. Your question seems to imply that you want to make a moyo on the top side to use your top right shimari. But that's not the only way to use those stones. Another is to simply share the top left corner with white, preventing him from getting lots of territory there (and of course separate the pincer stone from the corner because Go is all about separating/connecting). If white ends up developing along the top side, that's nothing to be sad about: your strong shimari means he can't make much territory there. You need to be more flexible and let the game develop naturally, if you single-purposefully go after one thing, a skilled opponent can take advantage of that and force you to overcommit to your plan (e.g. forcing overconcentration).

Another entry for viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6571 then.

Oh really? I need to look over that book alot more . I had been reading it for the sanrensei and low chinese stuff, was figuring to get to the mini-chinese, high chinese, kobyashi etc later. Didn't realize it has this in it as well, excellent.

There are lots of books about the opening, read them.

a kind 4D reviewed the game for me on kgs... and so i think i know alot of my problems.

Part of them was the fact i was blitzing when i had 20 minutes... opponent finished game in byomi and i had 10 min left..

@Magicwand:

Uberdude's post has a very combative connotation to it. The phrase "than you can be bothered to" is antagonistic. Uberdude is a native speaker, so I wouldn't let him off the hook for his choice of phrasing.
