Post subject: | from 6 kyu to ... |
Hey ho! I will start my activity in the forum here by creating my on study journal. My goal is to play at least one real time game a day (plus many simultaneous games on DGS) and doing tsumego for at least 10 minutes a day. Also I try to review each of my own games when finished and post some interesting or problematic ones here. I think some help of you guys would really bring me further, so any comments or reviews are very appreciated. ![]() Of course I will also try to review the games of the weaker players here as well (as a side effect it also helps me improving ![]() Btw, I always write some notes into the sgf files to explain some main issues where I could need some advice. Thanks in advance and I hope you will enjoy my games and be part of my learning process ![]() |

Direction of Play So here is my first game. I played against a 2k with no handicap, slow time settings. Of course I lost ![]() What I am focussing on is the direction of my play, especially concerning the first 80 moves or so. I sometimes wasn't sure from which side to play - see comments (moves 11, 15, 27, ...) Maybe someone could take a look at the game and comment on my questions?

At ![]() At 14, I don't like black's joseki choice, as it looks to build two moyos that the white top group may end up running between to some degree. I doubt black could consolidate both of them at once. Maybe just the slide into the corner and 2 space extension is fine instead. Or ignore for P17 as before. With the situation as it stands, black has good potential, though, and can cap at K5 or invade one side or the other in the future. No need to panic. I think ![]() ![]() ![]() At ![]() ![]() At ![]() ![]() ![]() After this and white's connection under, black's game plan has completely fallen apart and there's not a lot more to comment on. |

On ![]() ![]() Instead, I would have played e. g. push&cut via P14 and O13. As a result, white's right group would feel really weak and white would need considerable time to settle it as otherwise the whole right side could become black's area. At move ![]() Your own comment on move ![]() ![]() |

@Loons, skydir and schawipp: Thanks very much for taking a look at my game, you already helped me very much! Quote: At ![]() ![]() Yeah, this is one of my main weaknesses (apart from reading), I have to stop going all in in my games if it is not absolutely nessecary... Quote: :b73: What is the purpose of this stone? If you want to use the aji, better to play K3, since it breaks the ladder AND is a move black wanted to play anyways. Somehow I still thought I could kill the white group (or better, must!) and tried to give white a false eye. Anyway as you mentioned, white being able to connect that group to his top one already finishes the game... ![]() |

At first, thanks Charles for your comment! Just a few seconds I played a game which was quite interesting from my point of view in some aspects. I tried to build a large center and somehow managed to do so, the question is at what cost? Big vs. Small Any comments and suggestions are appreciated, especially concerning the question which part of the board is the biggest... Unfortunately big blunders are also included, demonstrating that I am still 6 kyu ![]() |

I'm about 5 or 6k right about now and the difference I'm noticing between medium strength and strong kyus (I hesitate to use words like low) is the amount of need to respond to every move our opponent makes. Here's what I think and maybe someone can correct me if I'm too wrong: ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hi Avyssinica, thanks for your comments! Quote: :b13: I think kicking here is an option because white can only get a two space extension from his two stone wall, but I hate the aji in the corner after the kick so I would probably just play your move. I also thought about that. The reason I played from below is that I wanted to grow the bottom framework. But when I played the move it felt a bit cramped and not at all well placed, mainly because it seemed to close to the other black stone and also on 3rd line. ![]() Quote: :b21: What if you played L17? What is the best white can follow up with? White r18, black Q18, white atari, black connect, and then tenuki? Those second line corner points sure are big. There's probably something nasty in there that I don't know about, probably starting with the P17 peep, but I still like extending towards the side. Yeah, that's a good question. I kind of wanted to put more pressure on the white group and prevent it from settling to easily. But if white just wants to live he can do this any time anyway I guess? So probably extending like you mentioned would have been better... |
