GAME REVIEW

In order to improve our Go skills it is a good idea to review & analyze our games...

  • Which Fuseki was more  successfull?
  • Which Josekis emerged?
  •  Did i or my opponent made any Joseki-mistakes?
  • If so, were they punished correctly?
  • Were there any life & death problems ?
  • If the some group  died,  would it have been possible to save it? 
  • Was it possible to kill a group, but it didn`t happen?
  • Which move was good, bad, slow, big, small, light, heavy etc. ?!


I think it is the best way to get stronger if you take your time and study your own games.

Of course it is very useful as well to let them be analyzed by a better player, but i think, if you first do it by yourself before you give it to a stronger player, you get the most out of this process.

And because i want to get stronger as well  ;-)  i decided to review my games more intensively and regular.


Here is a new game review :  


 Please notice: Of course i write these reviews because i want to know why i have lost  or which bad moves of my opponent gave me the victory... but i`m not a go teacher and there  might be mistakes, small and big ones, in this analysis.
 I use my brain  :-)  as well as Kogos Joseki Dictonary, Josekipedia, Brugo and the Smartgo software (with go4go- and gogod-Database) to  analyse Fuseki and Joseki.
