I've been wanting to get a game reviewed, but I can't really take the blitz games I play seriously, and I'm too lazy to play a slower one. I figure this game's a good candidate, and others seem to be posting their tourney games up too, so...

My own ideas:
36: Not sure if hane is better. I will probably lose the ko in the top left if I play hane, but the extra points may be worth it...?
48: Unfamiliar with the large knight's approach to komoku. I looked it up and simply extending is correct
54: Should I play another move to reinforce the weak group, or is this ok? perhaps it should be on the fourth line?
63: Looks a bit slow, but the extensions seem worse. This move threw me for a loop in the game
64: I feel like I must do something about Black's large potential here. On the other hand, this move feels like an overplay.
74: K9 maybe? I don't really want to make black strong here, that will allow him to invade the right side more easily
76: Looking back, feels like a bad/wasted move. All it does is give black sente.
88: Aji keshi?
144: I shouldn't have pushed black all the way here, his endgame is better later.
152: Is there a better way to live here?
186: Yes, I did misread this.

That does seem a lot more painful for me. Wow..

Imo this looks like Araban actually forgot to play the ko first and then play the threat. Without the ko the moves 35-39 dont make any sense. Suddenly White is in a good position.

I believe the upper right was mishandled, too. Black was SUPER strong there, but in the end white had no trouble and lived even with a few points.

I'll think about it when I've some more time :3
