19x19, 23 vs 21 kyu

Hello, I’m on a quest for knowledge. I would be grateful if some could look at this game and come with some improving thoughts.

Best regards

don’t play 19x19 yet. play 9x9 until you get 10kyu.
then you will be ready to enjoy the fun of 19x19.
and also, never skip tsumego (life and death problem) training.
5 puzzles a day is enough to make you stronger faster. https://blacktoplay.com

I disagree with this.

Play 19x19 whenever you like!

Just make sure to learn from every game.

Thank you for your advice. I am doing daily training already. Moving from 9x9 to 19x19 is a big step but I don´t want to wait.

best regards

You made several useless moves:

  • move 48: if you play elsewhere and White plays at R11, you can still capture the 3 stones with Q10
  • move 104: if you play elsewhere, the white stones won’t survive
  • move 230: you don’t need to protect.
  • move 238: what were you trying to do? You are already alive. A move like T5 is much bigger.

It’s often helpfull if you analyze your game first and formulate your thought and questions about it. It makes it easier to write something usefull for you.

Play whatever board size gives you the most joy to play. Do whatever exercies are fun for you. Everything is futile unless you are doing it.

good luck then.
its up to you to choose:
walking with speed 2m per second until 10km,
or,
walking with speed 1m per second until 2km then running with 3m per second for the rest 8km.

Thank you for your analysis. Next game I will try to formulate what went throught my head.
