Either this is a bug, or am I vastly misunderstanding the rules here

If thatās not a bug, then there are only features. Iāll take a look at it.

While @yebellz 
captures two brown stones and threatens to cut off a white chain, @A_Normal_Name 
connects more white stones to that chain.
@fuseki3 
puts also pressure on white-cyan by restricting the upper right groupās access to the black-cyan group on the left. By doing so, @Jon_Ko 
is able to capture black-brownās tengen stone that was placed in round one.
@martin3141 
also strengthens whiteās center with an extension and so does @Gooplet 
, by loosely capturing three black-(white-)magenta stones.
@Feijoa 
and @benjito 
choose to strengthen their sides.
Will team white be able to use their influence and counter team blackās attacks in various areas of the board?

@A_Normal_Name, Iāll try to block black on the very right, if you donāt disagree.

I am going to connect the top right group to the top group unless if there are better options

Assuming the top right intersection is T19: Do you mean connecting at M18? Itās an option, but I donāt think itās super urgent. Cutting there for team black seems harder than capturing M15 or K17 for team white and that gives the three cyan stones some breathing space (maybe even capturing our J15 stone is an option, what do you think @martin3141 ?).
Another thing to do would be to push through/cut the black-green N14-Q13 ogeima. You could also try to block black on the very right on your own (or help me do that).

yea youāre right, M18 isnāt urgent. I can block at S15 or S16 if that can help

I donāt think that would help the blue chain.

It helps most, if itās not predictable, otherwise team black can easily adjust to it. If they donāt know where weāre attacking, itās harder to defend.
Be aware of all our opponentās weaknesses and pick a reasonable move. Donāt be predictable now.
Oh, and @A_Normal_Name, Iāll include S14 in my options, then R15 becomes an additional cutting point. Iāll use an RNG to decide which move to play.

I think we could technically change the move in the database.

Phone, itās all right though, Iāll be more careful with the tap-click, or submitting my move quickly before all players have played as itāll still be changeable if I make a misclick ^^

(and itād probably lead to more confusion than itās worth for this game as weāve all seen each othersā moves for the round)
Although undo may be useful as a feature in general ā we had some issues with misclicking when I played on phone with @Tschej in one-colour Go and I remember misclicking on occasion, or nearly misclicking many times on phone on the site when playing moves in other games.
Or perhaps just an optional confirm button option ^^ (maybe easier to program 
)
