Usually I ask for reviews of this kind of thing in my study journal, but I think this might be interesting for quite a few people to learn from.
(The game is currently going on, we are at move 90+ and about to start the endgame, so I think it safe to get some opinions on the opening now)
Here are the first 30 moves of the game:
The first thing I'm wondering about is the attack on the black group on the left. Was the attack good? At the time it seemed like on of those textbook examples of attacking while getting profit, but since I can't keep up on both sides black gets quite a bit of influence in return.
Second thing(assuming the attack was ok): How to follow this up. In the game I approached the bottom right, got pincered and even though I got a great result in the corner black got even more influence towards the top and the right. This makes me think that the proper followup might have been R10. The other move I was thinking about was L17 to stabilize the top a bit more, but that seems premature right now.
Any suggestions welcome

instead of extending towards the center.
. Attacking is not my strength. But I would probably approach the top right corner first to gain strength and then would I put pressure on the two black stones.
(although not alive yet) seems frightening to me. I would probably try to cut it at F-16.
. When white chose the knight's move defence in the bottom left, he made the left side less big. White's two groups on the left are both quite strong, so I think white would be much better served by building center strength while attacking, and using that to prevent black from building enough to make up for the large UL loss.
