Move 1
January 24, 2021
[17:42] Nyoob[16k]: hi
[17:43] Diego_123[5k]: k, i'm not so strong, but i can pick some stuff that could help
Move 4
[17:43] Diego_123[5k]: you counter him
[17:44] Nyoob[16k]: i wanted to prevent him from getting into the bottom left
[17:44] Diego_123[5k]: ok, but the widest part 'open is top left
[17:44] Nyoob[16k]: true
[17:44] Nyoob[16k]: but there was no stone there
[17:44] Nyoob[16k]: at the moment i made my step
Move 4 + 2
[17:45] Diego_123[5k]: so you could
[17:45] Nyoob[16k]: listening
[17:45] Diego_123[5k]: then you assure points in any case
Move 9
[17:47] Nyoob[16k]: problem is, in a game i cannot see what my opponents is going to do, so he could have gone into the upper left or just harass me as he did in the lower middle
[17:47] Diego_123[5k]: now, no reason not to 3 3 C7
[17:47] Diego_123[5k]: you should evaluate threats
[17:47] Diego_123[5k]: E6 threathens nothing
[17:48] Diego_123[5k]: so C7 is good
[17:48] Nyoob[16k]: and what did i do instead?
Move 10
[17:49] Nyoob[16k]: oh yeah, remember now
[17:49] Nyoob[16k]: was it that bad?
[17:49] Diego_123[5k]: if there is space, don't attach
[17:49] Nyoob[16k]: why?
[17:49] Diego_123[5k]: you remove one of your own liberties
[17:50] Nyoob[16k]: but removed one of his as well
[17:50] Nyoob[16k]: i maybe talking nonsense
[17:50] Diego_123[5k]: yes, but his group is strong
[17:50] Nyoob[16k]: eh...
[17:51] Diego_123[5k]: so you remove one liberty of his strong group
[17:51] Diego_123[5k]: but you remove one liberty of your 'not so strong' stone
[17:51] Diego_123[5k]: C7
[17:51] Diego_123[5k]: gives you space
[17:52] Diego_123[5k]: and is an option on the corner
Move 17
[17:53] Diego_123[5k]: at this point, don't connect
[17:53] Diego_123[5k]: connect is one point (prisoner)
Move 17 + 2
[17:53] Nyoob[16k]: sorry i dont get this now
[17:54] Nyoob[16k]: dont connect where?
Move 18
[17:54] Diego_123[5k]: D5
[17:54] Diego_123[5k]: Don't D5
Move 17 + 1
[17:54] Nyoob[16k]: i know that shape is ineffective but at this stage in the game i saw nothing else
[17:55] Diego_123[5k]: G2
[17:56] Diego_123[5k]: see the difference ?
[17:56] Diego_123[5k]: G2 gives you the bottom
[17:56] Diego_123[5k]: D5 gives you nothing
[17:57] Nyoob[16k]: i was planning to play there but did not want white to start taking away my stone in the top
[17:57] Nyoob[16k]: but i was wrong as we both know
[17:57] Diego_123[5k]: look the variation
Move 17 + 3
[17:57] Diego_123[5k]: you are perfectly safe
[17:58] Nyoob[16k]: on other days i would see these
[17:58] Nyoob[16k]: today i couldnt see nothing
[17:58] Nyoob[16k]: and do not alwys play this bad but for some reason today i could not see the game as a whole just the little segments and thats not good
[17:59] Diego_123[5k]: ok, so if you are not 'in', we can do that another day
[17:59] Diego_123[5k]: no problem
[17:59] Nyoob[16k]: im in
[18:00] Diego_123[5k]: ok
Move 17 + 4
[18:00] Diego_123[5k]: at this point black will probably H3
Move 17 + 9
[18:01] Diego_123[5k]: see the result ?
[18:01] Nyoob[16k]: aha
[18:01] Diego_123[5k]: you win
[18:02] Diego_123[5k]: so connecting D5 made you lose
[18:02] Diego_123[5k]: clear or not ?
[18:03] Nyoob[16k]: clear
[18:03] Nyoob[16k]: what should i do today?
[18:03] Nyoob[16k]: try playing more games?
[18:03] Nyoob[16k]: or chuck it for today
Move 17
[18:04] Diego_123[5k]: let's finish this one
Move 22
[18:05] Diego_123[5k]: at this point, you can again G2
[18:06] Diego_123[5k]: Connecting A7 is not urgent
[18:06] Diego_123[5k]: if B6
Move 22 + 4
[18:07] Diego_123[5k]: black cannot take
Move 22
[18:08] Diego_123[5k]: so A7 not urgent
Move 23 + 7
[18:09] Diego_123[5k]: you still win
[18:10] Nyoob[16k]: right
[18:10] Diego_123[5k]: so
[18:10] Diego_123[5k]: first, secure your groups under threat
[18:10] Diego_123[5k]: second attack his weak groups
[18:11] Diego_123[5k]: don't oversecure groups already safe
[18:11] Diego_123[5k]: like D5
[18:11] Diego_123[5k]: or A7
[18:12] Nyoob[16k]: aha....
[18:12] Diego_123[5k]: take the largest areas instead of defending small areas
[18:13] Diego_123[5k]: if you do this, you probably progress
[18:13] Nyoob[16k]: in theory its all clear
[18:13] Nyoob[16k]: in practice, i hope i wont fcuk up again
[18:13] Nyoob[16k]: like 10 times i did today
[18:13] Diego_123[5k]: but don't forget that you lose average 1 play on 2
[18:14] Diego_123[5k]: so don't hesitate to experiment and sometimes attack heavily
[18:14] Nyoob[16k]: but how do you progress in kans then?
[18:14] Nyoob[16k]: ranks
[18:14] Diego_123[5k]: if you win 1.005 on 2, you progress
[18:15] Nyoob[16k]: i mean if you lose 1 and win 1 that would keep you at the same kyu dan whatever
[18:15] Diego_123[5k]: even pros lose average 1 game on two
[18:15] Diego_123[5k]: on each game, one winner one loser
[18:16] Diego_123[5k]: try to win 11 on 20
[18:16] Nyoob[16k]: can u explain this
[18:16] Nyoob[16k]: i dont get it
[18:16] Diego_123[5k]: eh, there is no other way
[18:16] Nyoob[16k]: ok
[18:17] Diego_123[5k]: progressing is for all players winning a bit more than losing
[18:17] Diego_123[5k]: including pros
[18:17] Nyoob[16k]: how long did it take you to reach 11 kyu?
[18:17] Diego_123[5k]: on each game, 1 loser, 1 winner
[18:18] Diego_123[5k]: don't know
[18:18] Diego_123[5k]: not counting
[18:18] Diego_123[5k]: i don't care that much about levels
[18:18] Diego_123[5k]: ok, hope could be of some help
[18:19] Diego_123[5k]: good luck
[18:19] Nyoob[16k]: thank you
[18:21] Nyoob[16k]: lost another game :D
