It turns out when I say I won't be able to play over the weekend... I end up playing at least once. Note to self: always make a comment about not being able to play on the weekend every week. :D
berrybear[29k?] vs. wolvie[30k?] 0.5 komi: B+34.5
In this game, I played some unneeded stones (example: connecting when they're already connected). I think I did better at not making useless gote defensive moves, I think this stems from an ever-growing assurance that my stones are infact safe and a speculative invasion there would be fruitless.
This did not stop W from attempting speculative invasions at D19, G6, K5, L6 and O6. In the past B would have allowed such speculative invasions to go through, but B connected instead of chased, and let W play useless stones in B's territory.
I'll probably do a full thoughtful review on Sunday, after I have a chance to relax and get a clean mental slate.
Have fun today, people! I know I will! :D
