One other thing that both sides were guilty of: I didn't really comment on the ko fight, but both players were guilty of playing loss-making ko threats. That is, ko threats that lose points. J1 loses a point compared to H1, when black captures. L12 really wants to be at K12 to shrink white's territory in sente (for now), rather than expand it.

Move 214 should likely be at L18, also, to live, or at least die slower and maybe win the capturing race.

This is actually a good point. I thought that the 214 move vas easy to cross cut and I felt that i'd die faster. I made some variations and that's likely a "bad tunnel vision". It all started when my opponent saved the group in ko, and that resource was unbelivable for me: before that I was expecting my opponent resigning ;)
