This is a recently lost game that was very close. I had a lot of fun on it, I tried several things, but I ended up losing 1.5 points (which was a bit frustrating).
This game was an intense one for me, and an analysis on it would make me very happy!
Astropong was wondering whether Black B instead of L3 would be good or too passive. I don’t know for sure but the game move looks a bit too dangerous.
Ok that should teach me to look a bit more on the games (confusing black and white)
For my small contribution then the moves on the v between the 2 white stones (A M3 and N4) are the shape moves (see attack and def, the book) and the reverse v the wrong ones.
In this diagram (with black L3 removed) R2 stands out to me as a very big move and even a fairly urgent move for either player.
It’s big because of the intrinsic territorial value of the corner and it’s urgent because it affects the bases of a black group and a white group at the same time.
Yes, this type of descent (in the shape marked with the squares in the corner, below, often at the 2-3 or points nearby) tends to be a big mutual key point, as it both makes a big impact on life and death and gives very large yose follow-ups.
And, if White attempts to block around the Q2 area before adding a move to reinforce, for example around O5, there are shape issues in the triangled area for Black to exploit (It would be bad shape at this point for White to block there.)
(Edit: I left some comments in the game. I hope they are helpful!)
