Life In 19x19

Hello,

I'm not happy about how this game developed. At the end I just got lucky. Any comments are highly appreciated

Top of the head comments:

Too far from the micro-Chinese position.

See? White is not only over-concentrated while Black has good development. White is defending.

Good!

I think that Black should bolster his group in the top left. However, Black has played this opening as though he were giving a handicap, not taking it. He has attacked White, forcing White into a cramped shape while enlarging his own moyo, then invaded White’s moyo, and now is making a large, but thin moyo. No wonder White has a bad feeling.

White’s job is to make the game difficult for Black, not the other way around.

How about using to approach the lower right 3-4 stone?

I like to ignore the approach move to the white 4-4 stone and approach the black 3-4 stone immediatly.
