Move 109

[7:44] ruster[4k]: as this is teaching tournament i will put some comments on our earliear moves if you're okay with that

[7:46] ruster[4k]: Variation: Here, your marked stones are very far from each other, they are not connected, 1 and 2 shows two possible cutting points

[7:48] ruster[4k]: Variation: I wouldn't play the direct attachments at 'x'. I think that the squared positions are better.

[7:50] ruster[4k]: Variation: Something like this. Notice that your lower left corner area starts to form nicely.

[7:52] ruster[4k]: Variation: The triangled stones are not connected. Stone 'x' makes an immediate threat to cut at 1. Instead of F14, F15 or F16 would be playable.

[7:55] ruster[4k]: Variation: Moves 39 to 49 threaten your unconnected stones on the right. Also note that the wall marked by the squares helps back to protect territory in the upper right corner.

[7:58] ruster[4k]: Variation: At this point an invasion of the upper left corner seems possible.

[8:00] ruster[4k]: Variation: This is a nicer way to defend the "monkey jump" at G19.

Move 115

[16:53] jeikobu[9k]: ok, thanks ;)

Move 139

[18:58] ruster[4k]: Your moves 112 and 114 were nice for the endgame.

[18:58] ruster[4k]: Both of these moves made me to respond.

[18:59] ruster[4k]: For move 116 I needed to respond too, but after 117 you were forced to make the move 118 on E9

[19:00] ruster[4k]: This means that in my move 119 I decided where to play.

[19:00] ruster[4k]: Try to keep playing forcing moves as long as you can in the endgame.

[19:01] ruster[4k]: Of course, it's harder than it sounds. :)

[19:07] jeikobu[9k]: ohh! Thanks, you have right. Right now i feel the pressure now
