Hi!
This was my fifth game, and the first one that I won. I think I played pretty well, but I only won by 8.5 points. I was wondering if anyone could give me a review, let me know what I did right, what I did wrong (I’m sure there’s far more of the latter than the former lol).
its huge win for 9x9
but because you didn’t play here, white did
I’m struggling a bit to understand why F3 was “the move”, is it because I ended up with a bunch of disconnected stones?
all those green groups become separated from each other
white then can capture F2 stone by playing E2 or can play at D3 and threat E3 stone and stones below
your F3 would connect all your groups and prevent any possibility to cut them from each other
I think I see it now! I’m looking through the game myself as well, and it looks like on move 52, white put me in a pretty bad atari with E3 that I just didn’t respond to. If they captured that stone they would’ve taken a bunch of territory right?
If I had connected that with F3 it wouldn’t have happened
move 43 you played F2
but if you played F3 instead
Another thing is you should consider that your stones can have more distance between each other. Playing at the contact of another stone of yours is many times too heavy or slow.
It’s hard to review as it seems you are still missing a lot of things. Like connection you make when not needed, and the reverse, not blocking your opponent, … At this level of experience it would need a far too long review which could be annoying, my guess is you should simply keep playing more games.
