[5:55] Darloose[11k]: hi, good game to us !

Move 2

[5:55] Cement[20k]: Hello, good game indeed

Move 12

[7:28] Cement[20k]: Here comes the part where you kill all my groups

Move 23

[7:43] Darloose[11k]: ok, let's try it !

Move 24

[7:50] Cement[20k]: Still have no idea what to do about that invasion

[7:50] Cement[20k]: I usually lose a lot more than just he corner

Move 25

[7:53] Darloose[11k]: when you're not sure what to do, it means you need to improve your reading of the goban, and it's good to try building good defence you are sure about even if you loose the game than trying moves you're not sure about

Move 28

[7:54] Cement[20k]: hmmm.

Move 30

[7:57] Cement[20k]: Is there a way to improve my reading without just playing a lot?

Move 31

[7:57] Darloose[11k]: there are many

[7:58] Darloose[11k]: like observing games played by higher ranked players, not to high ranked at start

[7:58] Darloose[11k]: studying fuseki

Move 37

[8:01] Cement[20k]: hmmm

[8:03] Darloose[11k]: I would say also : try to play slower, using the game analysing tool. When you want to play on a point, ask yourself what would happen if you'd play on the neighbourghing spots

Move 38

[8:05] Cement[20k]: thing with that is that the tool doesn't exist IRL

[8:05] Cement[20k]: the slowing down thing can help, though

[8:06] Darloose[11k]: true, but after you use it on the screen a lot, it becomes easier to do it in your head.

[8:06] Darloose[11k]: i mean the analyse tool

[8:07] Cement[20k]: I use it sometimes for moves that could end up bad

[8:07] Cement[20k]: or moves that always kill everything I've built

Move 39

[8:11] Darloose[11k]: if your level is real 22, i would say you made a small but strong defense here, it's the good way to start and then try to get bigger next time

Move 45

[8:13] Darloose[11k]: M2 would have been better than L2 here

[8:14] Cement[20k]: then you could L2

[8:14] Cement[20k]: oh

Move 46

[8:14] Cement[20k]: I see

Move 56

[8:22] Cement[20k]: now I see why lots of people near my rank only play on this size or smaller

Move 61

[8:23] Darloose[11k]: you played mostly 19 before ?

[8:23] Cement[20k]: I mostly played a robot before joining this site
