This was a comfortable win, but lately I have been frustrated by my inability to turn away invasions despite having what I feel is a reasonable defensive setup.

Examples in this game would be 140 onwards, and 166 onwards.

In this particular game I very consciously took a bend-but-not-break approach because I was so ahead on points, but I still believe a competent player would be able to stonewall such invasions almost immediately.

I would be grateful for some pointers regarding this aspect of play.

PS - how to get the nice Eidogo embedded look? :scratch:

:black:143 should be one point to the left.

The fight following 166 was complicated. :black: 171 could be at c5.

The more troublesome part of this game are moves :b5:, :b7:, and :b9:.

I suggest asking for some teaching games on KGS for 9x9 and 13x13 to study some http://senseis.xmp.net/?BasicInstinct

I gave comments on the opening and both invasions.

"Troublesome" made me laugh. Very polite word choice! I was in Bangkok the other week and they preferred "baffling" and "insane". :oops: :lol: Now you understand my stated rank of "infant". Links noted and reading, thank you!

Thank you very much for taking the time to play out the possibilities as they are hard for me to visualize/anticipate on my own. :tmbup: I will endeavor to apply this knowledge!

Everyone starts an infant, I've read that even Lee Chang-ho was a particularly unimpressive beginner. I very much suggest starting a study journal, it doesn't have to be anything really structured but I think you would get regular followers and support.

The best part of Go is exploring the game and learning new things. People like to be along for the ride. :)
