Oza Game Five: Moyo Madness

Yes, I know, I have not been posting. Got kind of distracted by kicking out my husband. Which was good decision, but had me pay less attention to go for a few weeks. Life is good now though, the lack of negative energy in the house is amazing, and I hope my go will reflect that. Some day ^^



I almost decided to skip my Oza game 5 and 6, but I want to add them for completeness. I'll keep it pretty short though.



Game five story in a nutshell: he made big moyo, I tried to stay calm and not panic. The important word being 'tried' Somehow, it didn't quite work out that way ^^ Here is one of the positions.



The calm thing to do would be to play at A, get thick and attack the B group. Sendol showed this:



Not quite what happened in the game. I guess this is where I lost my calmness, and things kind of detoriated. I ended up losing by 6.5 points. I will share my sendol review of the game. It has many interesting variations. Too bad I didn't find them during the game. Enjoy!

Ya. I've just been reading your blog from the very beginning, because I was quite enjoying your theme and story-line, and I'm curious to see how you are studying Go. And then when I finally get caught up to date... you're AWOL!

Glad to see you're keeping an even keel here. Maybe I'll even learn something about Go too.
