That's where I wanted to play

   

A cry often heard in handicap play. The strange thing about it though, is that it mostly reflects a certain disappointment, whereas it should reflect pride and joy.

Surely, if you found a great move but your (considerably stronger) opponent played it just when you wanted to play it, that shows you are not that far away.

BountyHunterSAx? Really? To my understanding this would only reflect the distance between you and the better player. Sure, you were able to recognize their move as a good move, this is a good thing, but your sense of timing is clearly *not* so good, as if it was you would have made that move instead of them (assuming sente/gote is not the issue).
