Difficulty: Beginner Keywords: Opening, MiddleGame, EndGame, Tactics, Strategy

One of the first games I finished (if not the first) was a game against GnuGo (it plays fast).
Thanks to gnugo's boss for permission to post this game :)
I think most of the games I'll have questions about will be of games I lost, so I want to start with a game I won against a stronger opponent.

Game 401446

White: gnugo (14 kyu)
Black: hexkid (19 kyu)
komi: 5.5

Captives: black+square white+square

[edit]

Move by move

: experimenting move reversal (?). Usual order is at and at .

: Hmmm ... White looks about to 'take' Black's corner, but if she does Black may take her top left corner -- Black's just making the bottom right corner safe before attacking.

: Disturbance tactics.

: I knew it!

: If Black can separate White's groups and keep his connected (yes, I know, tough goal) it is a good thing.

: Attacking Black's weak group.

: keep connected.

: black+circle is not important. I realize White will connect her groups, but she'll have to lose some time to do it. The point with the marked stone is not an eye for her.

: Saving Black's weak group.

: Black does not want to be attacked here.

: either connect up or to the right.

W10 : ok, connecting up.

: The marked stone is not important for Black.

: Maybe Black can connect everything :)
