Vox had his best evening of go since January last night, defeating me 5 games in a row. I felt I had a good chance in the first two of the games, but he really dominated the others.

Game 2 was the closest last evening. I got off to a good start, making a decent corner by killing 6 of Vox’s stones. However, it was my only corner and it wasn’t as big as the corner/side combination beside it. Is last night’s result an omen of things to come or will I be able to continue to successfully offer Vox the 2-stone handicap.

I felt that Vox was able to use his handicap stones more effectively last night and he was able to keep my stones under some pressure, and as a result he got to some of the bigger places before me.
