Life In 19x19

My thoughts up to move 50. I appreciate stronger players thoughts on my thoughts too.
Shape is overconcentrated. Hane Q4 is better.
D2 and C9 are already miai, so no need to play here. better to play the widest area, approach at O17.
3-3 invasion under star point is usually considered not so good ...

I can't say. I have only played on the physical board in Singapore. However, I am still no stronger than ~10kyu on wbaduk, I think.

3 years ago , I attended the Singapore Weiqi Association (SWA) Dan Certification Tournament. The report is here. The result was that I came away with 5 wins, needing 6 to be in the top 20% to make the cutoff for 1-dan.

Look at now. Better at "a", eh? White is overconcentrated.

Thanks! Any ideas for scenarios 2 and 3?

Thanks! I will remember that reply for scenario 1. Looks good!

For scenario 4, I guess I shouldn't fear ? This continuation below looks good for white since B gave up another sente?
