This was a game I played on Tygem. It was close, though the opening seemed strange and I wasn't sure what to do. I did write comments in the game as well. If anyone who can take a look it'd be most appreciated.

Hi Sivak,

:b5: "act natural". :)

:w14: Candidates: S2 is a pretty big local shared point. (P2 follow-up)
N4 knight's; or double hane N3 on :w16: . (*)

:w18: extend once more. ( Fix your o5 cut in sente. ) (*)

:w26: extend once more. Same issue as :w18: .
( Also, don't attach to this pincer stone; counter-pincer it. ) (*)

:w34:, :b35:, :w36: I'm not crazy about this exchange for :white:.
( F9 hane seems natural for me. ) (*)

:w38: (re: :w26: G4) maybe B4 ? (*)

:w42: Locally, maybe D12 better ? (*)

If he leaves something that he should have taken, then you take it yourself. Simple logic. :mrgreen:

==========================================

At move 7, he is unusually low. Why fight him for the low side?

I can't say that this is better, but feels better to me. He neglects the center, so you seize it.
If he tries the same two space extension on the right side, the power of your Q16 stone can be felt all along the side.

===============================================

At move 13, the hane at N4 is good because it is the place that he wants to play next.
But by that logic, we could go back one move and look at what he should have wanted to play then.

Back on move 11, P2 was the textbook move for black. It makes black safe and solid. Taking it yourself hurts black even more than N4.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I can definitely see that weak shape now in the bottom right during the opening. I'm not sure how I feel about immediately running to the center, though. I went into the corner to try and get a little base. Typically when that pincer gets played on me, that's usually my instinct.
