Move 13

March 16, 2014

[1:08] dfunkt[?]: see the difference?

Move 18 + 9

[1:15] dfunkt[?]: are you following this?

[1:15] gish[?]: yes, I think so.

Move 18 + 11

[1:15] gish[?]: i think my problem is that i went into it thinking it was merely a game of captures, when it's really a game of connections.

[1:16] dfunkt[?]: yes

[1:16] dfunkt[?]: here you see white has only 1 liberty.. in atari

[1:16] dfunkt[?]: oops

[1:16] dfunkt[?]: 2

[1:16] dfunkt[?]: but still dead

Move 9 + 7

[1:19] dfunkt[?]: it is important to remember that go is about points

[1:19] dfunkt[?]: everything you do should aim at surrounding territory

[1:19] dfunkt[?]: the marked area is impossible for white to play inside and live

[1:20] dfunkt[?]: it is too small

[1:20] dfunkt[?]: and black is too strong

Move 2 + 1

[1:28] dfunkt[?]: that should be enough for now

[1:28] gish[?]: that in itself helped a lot.

[1:28] gish[?]: thank you for taking the time out to do that.

[1:28] dfunkt[?]: no problem

[1:29] dfunkt[?]: I notice you joined go basics

[1:29] dfunkt[?]: I started go basics to be a place for review

[1:29] dfunkt[?]: if you would like more reviews of your games let me know

[1:29] gish[?]: yeah, i didn't know anyone here and i figured a group dedicated to the basics would be the most welcoming, haha

[1:29] gish[?]: thank you, i will.

[1:30] dfunkt[?]: have fun . that is most important

[1:30] dfunkt[?]: you ewill lose a lot at first so don't get discouraged

[1:30] dfunkt[?]: take care

[1:30] gish[?]: i was having fun just sitting here watching you point out my mistakes, so that's a good sign i think. lol.

[1:30] gish[?]: you too!
