(Note: The first 6 moves are setup.)

I would love to see input and ideas from another source here. In particular: Where did silver go astray? (Aside from blundering a goal-in-four, that is.)

I believe by 13g you have a fairly large advantage. I think I have some pretty good ideas of where I went wrong. I'll give some of my thoughts later.
I'd like to play something like this again, maybe where we choose our own setup because the random one's are just really unnatural. I'll make sure that the win isn't so easy for you either way ;).

I felt the most important points of the game were in the complications following from my lunge forward on 10g. I was quite happy with the way things were resolved with 13g, but there might well have been a better approach for defending there. This is definitely one of those cases where the true nature of the position is revealed in tactics and I feel there is especially much to be learned. That's another important question to ask here: Was 10g an accurate positional judgement and should it have worked?

FWIW, my bot suggests 10s rf7e rg7s rd7e re7e after thinking for a while.
