2. All the semeai trouble could have been avoided if black 11 at F6 had been played at H4 or G3. But could black afford to let white play first at the top?
I think if black plays anywhere on the right, white 12 at D7 wins for white.
I'd rather be white at this point :-). Hhmm, having said that, Black 11 at D7 looks interesting. Also C7 and C5. [I'm hoping a strong player will come in and tell me what is wrong with each of those moves.]3. If no above, where should black's move 11 have been?
I think black 3 at D5 (or C5) is better. I'm not sure it counts as a "serious" mistake though :-).4. Which move was black's first serious mistake?
