Just recently I played thins 9x9 game on KGS. Initially I felt relieved to see both my White groups live, but now I wonder if I could've won the game by more carefully choosing my endgame sequences. As well, I was eyeing White 16 at 3-7 to save the White center group and possibly win the game. Much obliged in advance.

Re: A 9x9 game lost by 2.5 points
at your second move you seems to forget that the komi is yours.
Another way to put it. He played 3-4 for his second move. You play 5-4. That is you play for influence that you hope to turn into territory but you invite him to consolidate his territorial claims leaving you with a loose bunch of stones open for invasion.

I think I am so I think I am.
