Needless to say, this is the first time I've really been unable to properly/consistently follow up on a particular move. The 5-4, I'm just terrible with it, especially when used like in the following game.



I might have resigned too early, but things looked pretty hopeless when I counted after I messed up even further with the silly invasion on the bottom (bad follow up on right-side invasion push me to resign). But really that 5-4 was distracting to the point of keeping me from my usual beneficial state of concentration. Perhaps I should've kept playing farther out along the bottom with m2 so as to not get closed in?

Note: This wasn't all that SERIOUS of a game. Trying new things with a friend from club. But I've been wondering about the 5-4 for a while now.

I do not see any big problem with that corner.

Later, I would play a tighter shimari in the lower left, and the invasion at L3 was surely premature. However, Black helped you a lot with L2.

Agree. Black should be the one dissatisfied with that result if anyone should be.

A couple of comments. :)

I see that I made them from Black's point of view. ;) Your approach at R-05 was good. :)
