EGC 2009 Rounds 2-5

Basically a washout - lost four games in a row, which is a little depressing, but the main thing is that I have analysed them an know why. In the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds I played lots of overplays starting with weak groups, then having to spend the entire game concerned about connecting weak groups together, or having them cut off entirely. 5th round was the opposite - I deliberately played a solid defensive style and I think I lost due to being too cautious. I also made a 'joseki' mistake - white must connect solidly at A:

I played at the triangled point, which is a big problem for white after the black hane at C, as he doesn't have time then to answer the hane. All good learning experience!
