Good evening,

can anybody have a look at my game here:

So i played the black pieces.

Issues for me are:

→ General opening style
→ How did i handled the middle game fight (Is that double hane in the middle game appropriate)

Thank you guys blessings

That was a 16 minute game.
IMHO, it doesn’t make much sense to seriously review a game where the players only spent about 4 seconds per move. Do you perhaps have games you’d like reviewed, where you (and your opponent) put more thought into your moves?

All I’d really say is: it’s time to learn joseki and direction of play.

I checked two moves with AI.

At move 26, the normal joseki is this

However White played E17 and Black’s refutation is this:

At move 49, the double hane could lead to the following sequence

which is probably not what Black expected. The reason is move E8, which would have been better at D8:

Dia 2 is interesting, i have read so many variation to refute E17 (like the descent at B18 ).

I need a computer.

Note that the pincering stone is high. When the pincering stone is low, there is a refutation:

The variation reverts to the normal joseki where White has made the bad exchange E17-E18.

The other “refutation” is now considered as bad for Black:
