Back to reviewing

I've just finished one of my other projects, and so I'm hoping to get back into Go-study, starting this game.  The game started out pretty bad for me, and I wasn't able to get momentum back, but there was definitely tricky stuff in the mid game. Overall, I spent too much time fighting and should have been looking for stability especially after the bad opening.

Lee Sedol's Giant Cross

This is a reposting from JustPlayGo.  Did you guys see this game with Lee Sedol vs Mok Jinseok in the second round of the Kuksu?  Move 62 is totally nuts -- a giant cross with four double diagonals in the center of the board!  I've never seen anything like that.  In any case, Lee destroys his opponent with some fantastic tactics.

Zombie Group

I played a game against a 1d today.  Epic fights emerged as usual. The most fascinating part for me was the zombie group (nominally dead at move 116) that eventually comes back alive and saves the day.

Josh and Physix: Turning the Tide

I played a game against Physix (Aaron) today.  There was an interesting position in the beginning.  Physix lost his corner, but he could have done better.  It's a messy position -- what's black's best move?

Josh vs Jeremy v.2

I played a game with Jeremy last night.  As can be expected from our games, there was a huge fight.  Jeremy eventually lost, but after some analysis, there were some ways that white could have escaped.

I felt like I had a difficult time getting points and eventually had to attack his group really aggressively.  If he had succeeded in saving his group, I would have been sunk.  Any suggestions how I could have avoided this?
