Move 1
Diego_123[5k]: thsi is good
Diego_123[5k]: full of options
Move 10
TheMonarch[?]: Wait, real quick.
Move 17
Diego_123[5k]: this is bad
TheMonarch[?]: So, in your opinion, how are my first htree or four moves?
Diego_123[5k]: until here, ok
Diego_123[5k]: but F1 is bad
TheMonarch[?]: I wasn't trying to be aggressive, but wasn't trying to not respond either.
Move 14
TheMonarch[?]: Okay... Why was that bad?
Move 16
Diego_123[5k]: you protect E2
TheMonarch[?]: I was trying to stop you invading my territory at F1.
Diego_123[5k]: but if i E2
Move 16 + 2
TheMonarch[?]: Oh....
Move 16 + 5
TheMonarch[?]: If I did E2, I could have Atari'd you're move into F1...
TheMonarch[?]: Wait... no
Diego_123[5k]: so you lose a bit, but not much
Move 16 + 5
Diego_123[5k]: you invaded me a very efficient way
TheMonarch[?]: Okay. So I need to take a little more time to think. E2 would've been a WAY more secure defence than F1
TheMonarch[?]: Where did I invade?
Diego_123[5k]: sure
TheMonarch[?]: I don't remember!
Diego_123[5k]: no, in this variation , G5 is a good invasion
Diego_123[5k]: you just exchanged E2 for a good invasion position
TheMonarch[?]: Because it's connected and a good bite out of your corner?
Diego_123[5k]: exactly
Diego_123[5k]: i'm cut
Move 15
TheMonarch[?]: So...
Move 16 + 5
Diego_123[5k]: compare
Move 21
TheMonarch[?]: If, from here, I remedy any cuts, I have the lower-right... in theory, anyway?
Move 16 + 5
Diego_123[5k]: lower left
Diego_123[5k]: lower right is still mine
TheMonarch[?]: I was thinking lower-right....You can save that, every time?
Diego_123[5k]: but you attack severily top left
TheMonarch[?]: I MAY need to learn life-and-death shapes.
Diego_123[5k]: *top right, sorry
Diego_123[5k]: lower right is mine 95%
TheMonarch[?]: At 5, I was trying to isolate your lower-right
Move 16
Diego_123[5k]: ok, let's go back
Move 18
TheMonarch[?]: Were you too entrenched?
Diego_123[5k]: note that E2 takes F2
Move 19 + 1
TheMonarch[?]: Yeah, you can run me to the corner and eat me alive.
Move 20
TheMonarch[?]: THIS is super helpful!
Diego_123[5k]: but i can do that later
TheMonarch[?]: Seriously, you[re my first match on here and this is more helopful than you can know!
Diego_123[5k]: i want more points than F2
Move 22
TheMonarch[?]: Wait...
TheMonarch[?]: D3 is you invading, right?
Diego_123[5k]: yep
Diego_123[5k]: and a bad invasion
TheMonarch[?]: If you were me, where would you have gone here?
Diego_123[5k]: cruel and nasty
TheMonarch[?]: It was a weak invasion, but I met it MORE weakly.
Move 22 + 3
TheMonarch[?]: What did I do?
Move 22 + 5
Diego_123[5k]: best answer, i think
Move 22 + 6
TheMonarch[?]: Yeah, that's WAY better than whatever I did. :)
Diego_123[5k]: you keep the left side
Move 25
TheMonarch[?]: I wanted to. I'm not sure I did so effectively
Diego_123[5k]: F6 cannot win
Move 24 + 4
TheMonarch[?]: I didn't view your move at D3 as a threat...
Move 24 + 6
TheMonarch[?]: Was that a mistake?
Move 24 + 7
Diego_123[5k]: sure
Diego_123[5k]: was a huge threat
Diego_123[5k]: as you see in the game
Move 30
Diego_123[5k]: at this point, bottom left is destroyed
TheMonarch[?]: In my mind, D3 wasn't a threat because I had connected pieces that could run you to a border if you wanted to push.
TheMonarch[?]: Yeah,...
Diego_123[5k]: not a connection problem, but an atari/ liberties problem
TheMonarch[?]: Now that I examine it, you have eyes if I push back now that you have D4
Diego_123[5k]: and you are cut
Diego_123[5k]: and under atari
TheMonarch[?]: I can't kill those pieces after D4.
Diego_123[5k]: so veryver bad
Move 32
TheMonarch[?]: Go back one move, please
Move 30
TheMonarch[?]: To where you played D3
Move 22
Diego_123[5k]: my bottom group is safe, because i can do D4 or E2 at any moment
TheMonarch[?]: If you were me, would E2 or D4 have been the better move? Or was I just too unprotected once you played D3 to begin with?
Move 22 + 1
TheMonarch[?]: Oh....
Diego_123[5k]: D4 is the only solution
Move 22 + 4
TheMonarch[?]: You have me either way with that cut...
Move 22 + 5
TheMonarch[?]: What did I do? I assume it wasn't D4
Move 22 + 15
Diego_123[5k]: ok, this is a bit more complex
Diego_123[5k]: let's go back
Move 24
TheMonarch[?]: So my game was MOSTLY mistakes after the first few moves... Yikes. :D
Move 34
TheMonarch[?]: I need to use the restroom.. BRB Sorry
Diego_123[5k]: again B7
Diego_123[5k]: weak
Move 53
Diego_123[5k]: now snapback, very important
Move 54
Diego_123[5k]: at this point, A6 dead, whatever
Move 54 + 1
Diego_123[5k]: you force me to take
Move 54 + 3
Diego_123[5k]: remark, don't
Move 54 + 8
Diego_123[5k]: so, formation F1 F2 or B8 B9 A9 are bad
Move 59
TheMonarch[?]: yeah
Move 60
Diego_123[5k]: ok, hope that it helped a bit
Diego_123[5k]: see you next time and good day
TheMonarch[?]: It helped alot!
TheMonarch[?]: Thank you for the pointers
TheMonarch[?]: I appreciate your time.
Diego_123[5k]: but you have the basis that will allow you to progress
TheMonarch[?]: Here's hoping!
TheMonarch[?]: Thank you and good game!
