Move 0

September 9, 2015

[13:37] Samraku[10k]: You seem to be good at fights :)

Move 7

[13:38] saxmaam[10k]: Definitely some fighting spirit shown today

Move 8

[13:38] NanashiHItori[18k]: you did not see last night game

Move 7

[13:38] Samraku[10k]: I think this is fine, but do consider things like q10 and r10

[13:39] Samraku[10k]: The enclosure in the upper left likes extensions at 1 or 2

[13:39] NanashiHItori[18k]: I considered but an atack early on seems a good idea

[13:39] Samraku[10k]: ok

[13:39] Samraku[10k]: as long as you thought about it and dismissed it, that's fine

Move 17

[13:40] Samraku[10k]: This is joseki, though A or B would be more common

[13:40] Samraku[10k]: B most common, I think

[13:40] Samraku[10k]: But this move is joseki, so obviously it's a good move :)

Move 18

[13:40] NanashiHItori[18k]: i knew but i had something in my mind

Move 21

[13:40] Samraku[10k]: ok :)

Move 23

[13:41] Samraku[10k]: had you seen this reduction before?

[13:41] NanashiHItori[18k]: yes

[13:41] Samraku[10k]: ok

Move 24

[13:41] NanashiHItori[18k]: but i forgot about

Move 25

[13:41] NanashiHItori[18k]: :)

Move 31

[13:42] Samraku[10k]: I don't think this move is necessary

[13:43] Samraku[10k]: whenever you have a small or large knight, take the time to read if you really need to defend. Sometimes you don't mind being cut

[13:43] NanashiHItori[18k]: yeah looking now its seems so

[13:43] Samraku[10k]: here you have influence, influence if for getting favorable fights, and it would be a bad Idea for me to cut

Move 34

[13:43] Samraku[10k]: tenuki here

[13:43] NanashiHItori[18k]: here betthe i would play in the bottom

[13:43] Samraku[10k]: you have sente and t5 is small

[13:44] NanashiHItori[18k]: i always hurry up to close (afraid of invasion

Move 34 + 5

[13:44] Samraku[10k]: this is the worst white can do

[13:45] Samraku[10k]: It's 3 points in sente for white and there are much larger things right now

[13:45] Samraku[10k]: Defending is good, but part of improving is not only learning to defend better, but learning when you can get away with not defending

[13:46] NanashiHItori[18k]: understood

[13:46] Samraku[10k]: Generally 1st line moves in the opening are not good, so if you're about to play one, that might be a good clue that you should take some clock time to make sure it's a good move

Move 37

[13:47] Samraku[10k]: This is building the center in gote

[13:47] Samraku[10k]: You only want to build points in the center if you can do it in sente by attacking something

[13:48] Samraku[10k]: or if you're go seigen and you've counted the board and know that building the center in gote will win you the game by .5 points

[13:48] saxmaam[10k]: Great review Samraku, I'm learning stuff, too

[13:48] Samraku[10k]: I'm still trying to learn how to use influence, so don't feel bad, it's hard

[13:49] Samraku[10k]: The center is very difficult to hold

Move 51

[13:49] Samraku[10k]: same thing, building tthe center

Move 73

[13:50] Samraku[10k]: Very nice job not automatically defending the topand instead splitting my groups

[13:50] NanashiHItori[18k]: now I can see what you mean with center

[13:51] NanashiHItori[18k]: its took me a wile to think that move

[13:51] Samraku[10k]: You actually managed to get more out of the center than I thought you would because you were fighting well, so good job on that. :)

[13:51] NanashiHItori[18k]: to see varition in your head is quite overwhelming

[13:52] Samraku[10k]: But the next time you find yourself in a similar situation, you'll be more likely to think of a move like this up front. The more you run into it, the quicker you'll become at reading it. The important thing is not how long it took, but that you succeeded in finding the move

Move 107

[13:53] Samraku[10k]: good job realizing that m9 was not that big

Move 127

[13:54] Samraku[10k]: this was a nice move

[13:54] Samraku[10k]: it definitley limited how much I could get out of this

Move 133

[13:55] NanashiHItori[18k]: t16 seemed small

[13:55] Samraku[10k]: ok, the capture is fine, I see what it was preventing now

[13:55] Samraku[10k]: I think there were bigger things, but it's not a bad move

Move 166

[13:57] NanashiHItori[18k]: here i missread

[13:57] Samraku[10k]: two liberties, empty triangle, on the edge of the board, keep an eye out for this

[13:57] Samraku[10k]: I've lost games from missing this shape

Move 195

[13:58] NanashiHItori[18k]: good review Thanks a lot

[13:58] Samraku[10k]: So you were good at fighting and knew to attack weak groups, which was good

[13:59] Samraku[10k]: but don't build the center in gote

[14:00] NanashiHItori[18k]: Understood

[14:00] Samraku[10k]: You're welcome; please tell me if there were issues with the review or with my presentation of the information, I can't improve if I don't know that I'm doing something wrong

[14:02] NanashiHItori[18k]: The review was good for me you pointed the major problems without tons of variations and for me is a plus

[14:02] NanashiHItori[18k]: because seing to many variation at low level i think is confusing

[14:02] Samraku[10k]: I try to avoid talking about reading in reviews, though I did make a minor exception here

[14:03] NanashiHItori[18k]: is best to tlk about moves but not in too many variations.

[14:04] Samraku[10k]: like in the upper left?

[14:04] NanashiHItori[18k]: i like you pointed intersections in place of putting variation on the goban

[14:04] Samraku[10k]: ok; I've been getting more comfortable with the OGS interface lately

[14:05] NanashiHItori[18k]: some people need example 1 ore 2

[14:05] NanashiHItori[18k]: so 1 variation is good.

[14:05] NanashiHItori[18k]: 3 ore more is bad for beginners

[14:05] Samraku[10k]: ok, that's a good rule of thumb

[14:06] Samraku[10k]: I try to read out a variation before I put it on the board in a review, but I do make mistakes rather regularly :)

[14:06] NanashiHItori[18k]: i learn to see variation in my head or i compare with some tsumego i know

[14:07] Samraku[10k]: That's good, not relying too much on seeing the stones in variation probably helped you in those fights :)

[14:07] NanashiHItori[18k]: in most cases i miss some moves

[14:08] Samraku[10k]: So do I :)

[14:08] NanashiHItori[18k]: i play most on time on ma real goban

[14:08] Samraku[10k]: Are there a lot of go players in Rumania?

[14:08] NanashiHItori[18k]: and a stone put is not movable

[14:08] Samraku[10k]: Romania^

[14:08] NanashiHItori[18k]: yes

[14:08] NanashiHItori[18k]: and some strong

[14:09] NanashiHItori[18k]: we have a 5p fron nihon kiin

[14:09] NanashiHItori[18k]: and a ex insei

[14:09] Samraku[10k]: Nice; I wish go was more popular here

[14:09] NanashiHItori[18k]: catalin taranu sensei 5P

[14:09] NanashiHItori[18k]: i play once in his club

[14:10] NanashiHItori[18k]: here is 2 place or third first is soccer 2 chess and after Go

[14:11] Samraku[10k]: hmmm, I don't know where sports would fall over here, but chess is definitly more popular than go in America.

[14:11] Samraku[10k]: Even if they don't play, everyone here knows what chess is. Virtually noone knows what go is

[14:11] NanashiHItori[18k]: i want to be 10k in a year. Last night i stated after loosing badly.

[14:12] Samraku[10k]: That's definitley attainable

[14:12] NanashiHItori[18k]: i am worse at chess than in go :))

[14:12] Samraku[10k]: so am I, I am downright bad at chess

[14:12] NanashiHItori[18k]: i tried japaese chess only one victory till now

[14:13] NanashiHItori[18k]: loses.... i did not coun

[14:13] Samraku[10k]: ooh, I was into shogi for a while. I think I had like a 5% win rate or something

[14:13] Samraku[10k]: and I think 3 of my wins were against someone who had never played

[14:13] Samraku[10k]: that was on 81dojo

[14:13] NanashiHItori[18k]: i played wheni was in Japan i stayed near a go shogi club

[14:13] NanashiHItori[18k]: on 81dojo i have only loses

[14:14] Samraku[10k]: that sounds like fun. :) They didn't get into fights with eachother like in Hikaru no Go? ;)

[14:14] NanashiHItori[18k]: No

[14:14] Samraku[10k]: can you access youtube?

[14:14] NanashiHItori[18k]: bat was some talking that one is more strategical than other

[14:15] NanashiHItori[18k]: yes

[14:15] Samraku[10k]: are you subscribed to "In Sente"?

[14:15] NanashiHItori[18k]: no

[14:15] Samraku[10k]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9EdUZVpIPU check out this video on losing streaks

[14:16] Samraku[10k]: the advice can apply to things besides go, so you may have hear it all before, but if you're wondering how to deal with them, this would be a good place to check

[14:16] Samraku[10k]: "may have heard", not "may have hear"

[14:16] NanashiHItori[18k]: i subscribed just now

[14:17] Samraku[10k]: Dwyrin who you already mentioned is of course a great resource too.

[14:17] Samraku[10k]: there are quite a few good go channels now

[14:18] NanashiHItori[18k]: i am subscribed at the majority

[14:18] Samraku[10k]: Same here

[14:19] Samraku[10k]: Unless there's a super exclusive group of go players who only upload private videos and only share them with members :)

[14:19] Samraku[10k]: then I'm missing out

[14:19] NanashiHItori[18k]: i like haylee because she try to explain the moves she makes (even if there are high dan games

[14:20] Samraku[10k]: Yeah, she's great, though sometimes a it's a little discouraging to stare at an "easy" life and death problem and have no clue where to start :)

[14:20] Samraku[10k]: but yes, I look forward to seeing her videos

[14:20] NanashiHItori[18k]: help me to don't play blitz games. Bad habit from chess where i play fast

[14:21] Samraku[10k]: Yeah, I don't really play chess that often, but when I feel like getting a few games in, I tend to play extremely fast time controls. Blitz or faster. Go I tend to prefer time controls as long as I have time for

[14:23] Samraku[10k]: because of byo yomi, it's a lot better to spend too much of your main time on something, than too little, so that's nice.

[14:23] NanashiHItori[18k]: i have to learn to play a little slow

[14:24] NanashiHItori[18k]: and to stare at the board much more time

[14:25] Samraku[10k]: well, good luck to you. :)

[14:25] Samraku[10k]: thanks for playing
