I've made some comments on what my thought were during the game. Overall I had so many weaknesses and a couple major misreads that really cost me. Please let me know what I'm missing and what I should be focusing on. I got lucky in game (literal luck), but I'd like to avoid disadvantageous fights in the future. Thanks!

Re: 7k OGS game review requested - lots of fighting
At move 19, you can tenuki. There are no empty corners, so you have a handful of choices: two possible approaches to a 4-4 stone, several possible shimaris in the upper right, and one or two shimaris in the lower right.
We can quickly dismiss either of the high shimaris in the lower right. A play at either 'a' invites an approach at the corresponding 'b'.
Either 'c' makes a shimari, and inhibits his extension off of the lower left. ( I tend to prefer the tighter one because of his strength on the lower side )
Either 'd' or 'e' makes a shimari, but still leaves white a dual-purpose approach around 'c'.
Both 'f' and 'g' are approaches to a 4-4, which Yilun Yang reminds us in his 'Fundamentals', is not as big as a shimari/approach of a 3-4.
In summary, I would have played this:
The two takeaways that I want you to get from this post are:
1) Approach or make shimari with a 3-4 before a 4-4.
2) Make dual-purpose moves.

Re: 7k OGS game review requested - lots of fighting
I agree with Topazg that the attack at 'a' is better than 'b'. But prior to either of those, I would play the dual-sente at 'c'.

Re: 7k OGS game review requested - lots of fighting
Yeah, that position got super awkward. I'm not sure if either player wants to really respond though?
Although settling his group is a big deal I can't imagine Black following up his
here if White tenukis, it feels like Black's group should settle itself if he cuts White

If white tenukis, so does black. Black's right side group is safe, and his midddle group retains the threat of the N2 capture.

Yes, this makes more sense to me, although he loses the ability to cut White in half (which I prefer to the N2 stone, although White's not fully alive in your line either).Joaz Banbeck wrote:If white tenukis, so does black.

This is what I was finding confusing. Assuming that my interpretation was wrong, what did you mean by dual-sente?Joaz Banbeck wrote:But prior to either of those, I would play the dual-sente at 'c'
