Let us have a look at a game against a friend of mine (2D European).

The opening:

White played 3-3 and 3-5. I should have sticked to my standard game plan and should have entered 3-3 at C3 immidiatly.

The shimari is the inferior strategy in this case:

After the white shimari, black has two playable options (although black should have entered 3-3 in the first place.)

White takes the win again in this game. But I am quite contend with my comeback after the bad opening. I really had my chances in this one and will learn a lot from this game:

The early 3-3 against 3-5 is described quite incorrectly in Josekipedia. It is a very good move, but I need to remember some variations. There is some material for another thread in the future.
https://lifein19x19.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=15862&p=233429#p233429

Again plays in the middle of the side during the fuseki evaluate as very bad during the review. (I normaly avoid them like the plague, they are almost all the time too passive.)

I handled the joseki in the lower right in a very good way.

My reading is improving, but still not up to par.

When I have the lead, I have to control my aggression. I counted correctly this time and should have played safely instead.

I am looking forward to my next games.
