Hi folks,
played this game recently. It was rather fun. My main focus was to think through my own moves; that is, not to rely on joseki etc. and try to play creatively. (It helped that I don't know any two space approach joseki
) I ended winning by killing the center group, and I'm fairly certain I was ahead as soon as I established my center group.Besides specific moves, please note if you see any repeated or habitual mistakes, and direction of play issues in the first 40~50 moves.
On a separate note, I can't seem to link an sgf through pandanet social, so I just attached it.
Thanks again, y'all.

bad. Probably one of your bad habits -- this kind of contact. For example, better at R5, kosumi.
- 
locally, you first make a broken shape for yourself. See also 
strange. Why not turn solidly Q8 ?
similar shape problem as 
Loose. Did you consider either atari C4 or atari D5 instead ?
same bad habit as 
wrong shape. The proper basic shape here is extend up at M4, not drop, because then you allow White to take the good point M4.
White also missed the vital point M4.
eating junk food -- bad habit. The 2 White stones at Q4 are too small. Nobody wants or cares about them, at this moment in the game.
mistake. Why ? You study this shape and figure out why this is a mistake.
bad shape.
