 +I'm playing white, and losing this game anyway, but I lose it badly because of this mistake. For some reason I'm nervous about the lower-left when it's perfectly secure, and comfortable with the right side even though it's vulnerable. The right group would have been alive if I'd defended it.  OGS says -36 points.

-I'm playing white, and losing this game anyway, but I lose it badly because of this mistake. For some reason I'm nervous about the lower-left when it's perfectly secure, and comfortable with the right side even though it's vulnerable. The right group would have been alive if I'd defended it.  OGS says -36 points.+I'm playing white. My opponent and I have both played pretty badly up to this point, but the weak black group in the lower-left means the game has swung in my favor. Black has just captured a white stone at ''a'' with 1. I can't immediately recapture because of ko, and I probably should have just sealed at ''b'' but I'm flustered at this point and try to make progress elsewhere with 2. Black makes a big mistake answering with 3 instead of capturing at ''b'', and then I make an even //bigger// mistake by not recapturing at ''a'' which would have allowed me to take entire lower-left corner on my next turn. -39 points, and the game.
