so lately I have been wanting to improve my mid-game by forcing myself to invade and fight a lot
I do this by letting my opponent occupy the 4 corners first, then I will start fights
in one game I came up with this formation

It seems that I let my opponent get the 4 corners, so I should be at a disadvantage.
But strangely, in the games that I used this opening, I never felt that I was behind.
Then I looked closely at this centre thing, it is
1)almost impossible to be under attack
2)has good influence in all directions
3)easy to support my other weak groups if any
4)extremely thick
(the centre doesn't have to be this exact shape, it is just a general idea)
but again, I am only 7k and my opponents are the same, so I didn't know for sure if this is a reasonable opening
For all the dan players out there, do you think this opening is playable or is it very disadvantageous?
Thanks a lot.
