Game analysis

Leela_bt, can you tell us where we (or just me?) went wrong on game #2113558? :)

Well, I think my last error is 15 d5. I should have played 15 d9. I also think 14 e7 is likely an error.

Well, maybe not 15 d9. But there has to be something... :)

Caroll, thanks. I'm thinking maybe error is c11... there has to be a way to put up some serious resistance as black but I couldn't find it.

I would also love comments on this game: https://littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=2114708

Where I did wrong? I thought I had done everything right but I'm losing at the end!

The only choice that I'm not confident with in that game is g8, and I admit it's because I've copied it from a previous game by leela...

Lazy, this looks like a game well played by both sides...

The only way I can think of to find an improvement for your game would be to play the opposite side against Leela and see where she diverges...

Bill, one possible improvement should be 26 j9 instead of 26 j8, I had missed this detail, but does it make a difference? I don't think so.

Another idea could be 8 j6 instead of 8 i9. I think this is probably the error. A minor error at 8 and it's game over with leela.

Bill, and I think this is a general phenomenon, the MCTS bots are stronger than us especially in the initial phase of the game.
