better to play P18 directly on :b34: .
Did you mean P17?
Later, if the game progresses to the end game,
White may play the first-line hane N19.
After White N19, study the end-game situation if :b34: at P18, versus at P17.

:b49: Locally, Q12 or R12 better.
49 was white, so I'm assuming you meant :b50: would've been better at Q12 or R12 to protect against the cut?
Yes, typo: :b50: .

Hi Ed, thanks for the replies!

1. Great info re: the first-line hane and blindly applying proverbs. I will study head vs. foot
2. I'll study the end-game situation and :b34: on P18 vs P17
3. Cool, thanks for clarifying the typo
4. Thanks for posting those variations. I was able to play with them in sabaki once I read your hidden text re: the net at N9
5. LOL, that pie chart is spot-on! :lol:
