This is my first time trying a style focusing on thickness (like in Hane Naoki's book). I won by a small amount of points, so if you could tell me if I played well or not, what parts I messed up on, good moves I made, and what my strengths/weaknesses are I would be very greatful. Thanks!

Some comments about thick play. I hope they help you to play thickly. It's a good way to start out. Nearly all of your opponents will help you to do so.
