Hi everyone. Just played my first game in a very long time and I wonder about all the things I did wrong. I feel like I would have completely lost if my opponent played G11 around move 40. Thanks for your time.

A few comments:

At you may want to kick to prevent the slide, and similarly at :b9, black could pincer quite effectively at M17.

At my first instinct would be to hane at G16 to keep white low and black connected.

Roughly around you may want to play E11 to fix black's cut potential in sente.

At just B14 kills, doesn't it? Still works at

At black can be more ambitious, with something like Q11. This has more effect on white, and doesn't let white push you down on the third line.

I don't like the peep at . Black may be able to cut later, and it doesn't give much to black. This is debatable, though, as it does cement bad shape for white.

Finally, at 181, E8 feels a bit more secure to me, but obviously the game path worked out fine.
