This was a very fun game, as I've said numerous times already (lol). And I already know I played this game pretty fast. Still a habit I need to break. This game was with Cyclops. I'm not sure I could've won without the 2 stones.

Actually, looking back, I feel confident I should have lost this game.

Thank you for the review. You pointed out a lot of things that make sense. And it was quite easy to understand, too. Hopefully these are things I'll start to remember.

Move 12 is not joseki: you need a pincer stone for it to be joseki. Joseki is q13 or n16

Yeah, looks like 85% or more of the time when pros play that there's a stone somewhere along the side:

Agree, that seems to be played when there's no pincer:

Also, this is played occasionally when there's no pincer:

Thx for the comments so far. Mostly concerning black.
Hailthorn deserved his victory. He punished my many errors very well, most of the time. I still would like to get some comments on my play in this game. In the sgf I included some lessons I learnt already from this game. All comments are welcome.

Thx Herman,

Many lessons learnt!
- 1,2,3 principle
- being more optimistic to avoid reckless moves
- keep concentrated in the endgame, play your own speed.
