I won by 14.5

as evidence to my casual laziness, I played the entire endgame by feeling, barely counting points/size of move at all.

NB later endgame not necessarily recorded in order

I made a huge overplay in the opening (after thinking for half an hour ...)

even after I comfortably escaped, I didn't actually seem to have much territory, and was under pressure the whole game. However I gained huge amounts points in the endgame as usual.

we played together in the pairgo getting 3/4 wins. I tend to think that rengo is the most fun type of go.]

Also, it is very difficult for W to find a follow up now in the shape as W doesn't have a big enough ko threat. Hence B doesn't have to worry much about this group of stones getting pincered and attacked and hence should tenuki. This was my conclusion in the game, and yet ...]

;W[ch]C[B managed to get out very successfully, and the end result feels slightly better for B

but B has to be careful, as territorially though B got B5, W did get the chance to play C12 and the F5 stone still reduces B potential a lot on the lower side.

I think I play some slightly slack moves and the game becomes a bit tight still, but it is hard to identify where I should have played]
(;B[ik]C[this looks normal, and I don't think I can criticise this as B is too weak and always owes a move here]

this proper shape does everything in one move, but the efficiency might not be sufficient.

after W played K4, this W group didn't really look thin anymore so perhaps I had a more severe more]
